MLW Network's Top 20 Players Right Now: #3 - Al Etter

Historically the most feared hitter ever to pick up a wiffleball bat. Etter is statistically the league's all-time best and most clutch hitter. He ranks first in 4 of 5 major hitting categories, and as a two-way player ranks in the top 5 in every major pitching category other than saves. Etter's 3 career grand-slams are also tied for first all-time. Each of his Title Game MVP's include one of those grand slams, the only man to ever do that. A 3-time champion, Etter has seen a decline in recent tournaments, which results in him coming in at #3. His game has changed enough to where the Flapacamingos feel he better suits the team in the lead-off spot offensively. On the mound, where he claimed the Cy Young Award in WP2, Etter is attempting to return as a starter this year, and has faired well in the regular season and pre-tournament scrimmages (4-1, 3.04, 20 K's). Defensively he is a smart, solid player. If the Flapacamingos are to re-claim the title they will rely heavily on Etter to produce.
