TEAM OVERVIEW
Chaos is one of several teams at this year’s tournament with significant Yard experience and success but not as much in fast pitch. The team is hoping they can make a seamless transition this October.
The core three players on the Chaos roster – captain John Lebrun, Jeff Lopes, and Adam Bridgeo – were teammates on the Black Widows in GSWL Yard in 2018 and 2019. Both Bridgeo and Lopes have proven themselves to be solid Yard pitchers. Both players posted a sub-3.00 ERA while throwing 40+ innings in each of 2018 and 2019. The million-dollar question for Chaos will be how well those two can translate their Yard numbers to unrestricted pitch speed Wiffle®. Bridgeo threw two innings in GSWL Pro last summer and got hit around a bit, but that’s hardly a significant enough sample size to go off of. While Lebrun doesn’t pitch, statistically speaking he was the Black Widows’ best hitter during that same time frame, with batting averages approaching .400 in 2018 and 2019.
To address their relative inexperience in fast pitch wiffs, Chaos added Ohio southpaw Blake Hoffman. A naturally gifted pitcher who spent many years honing his craft before going the competitive route, Hoffman’s stuff rivals that of most in the tournament. For Blake – the winner of the 2018 MAW Rookie of the Year award – it will be a question of consistency and pitch selection as he attempts to navigate through veteran lineups. Rounding out the Chaos roster is Dillon Koster. Like Lopes, Bridgeo, and Lebrun, Koster’s fast pitch experience is limited. He last appeared in GSWL Yard back in 2014 but has gotten some action in this summer in the medium pitch Bay State Wiffle®Ball League. Koster’s main role for the team will likely be an offensive one.
