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






Etter re-emerges onto this list after another brief retirement to re-structure the Flapacs organization. Even with diminished skill and speed, he still remains a massive threat at the plate. For a number of years, Etter held every major offensive record in tournament history. While some of the competition has caught up to him in recent years, he still holds a number of them.

Batting average - 1st - .507

Hits - 1st - 105

Runs - 1st - 89

RBI - 1st - 111

Bases+ - 1st - 171

B+% - 1st - 66.8%

Home Runs - 2nd - 40

OPS - 2nd - 1.722

Total Bases - 2nd - 232

Walks - 5th - 49


While he hasn't pitched in years, he still holds top 10 positions in all 5 major pitching categories as well. More recently, as we said, he retired and did not play in 2022. Over the last 3 tournaments however, he still has hit .440 with a 1.243 OPS. His power has diminished over the years, but can still provide a spark.
