The New Rochelle Tigers were nothing but dominant this season, and much of their success is due in large part to three individuals who etched their names in the WRWBL record books this year.

Nate Estes shattered the single season home run mark earlier this season, and ended up finishing the year with a whopping 13 home runs. Estes also fell two RBI's short of the single season RBI record, driving in an impressive 44 runs this year. Estes enjoyed a successful season at the plate, and is certainly a serious contender to win the league MVP award for the 2nd time in his career.

Paul Blejec could not be stopped at the plate this year, as he broke the league's single season batting average record previously held by Kevin Wissner for 18 years. Blejec hit an impressive .531, with 34 hits and 30 RBI's in 64 total at-bats. He too will be a strong contender for league MVP.

Joe Mandile continued his historic run atop the WRWBL pitcher rankings, as the 2019 Cy Young winner tied two league records this year. Mandile tied the league's single season wins record with 10 wins, and the league's complete game record with 9 complete games. The right hander has placed himself atop the Cy Young race, and is looking to become the second player in league history with back-to-back Cy Young awards.
