Lewis Jefferies =


Most HBD coaches seem to retire around the age of 65 or 66 to take full advantage of the WIS fishing and golfing circuit, but Montgomery pitching coach Lewis Jefferies seems to have no interest in calling it quits. He will run the Constitutions pitchers this season, at age 67, for the 8th straight season. And with a Loyalty rating of just 33, one is left to wonder how beernoser how worked out such a sweet, long-term deal with Capra's top pitching IQ.

HBD Ballpark Factors

Ballpark effects are ranked on a scale from - 4 to + 4, based on their impact on hits (1B), doubles (2B), triples (3B), home runs to left field (HR LF) and home runs to right field (HR RF).
