There were 81 Winnings Bids (85%). Last year 79. The 10 year average is 70.
This is an amazing percentage of winning bids. Unheard of in the long
history of USPBL MONEY DRAFTS!

By Position: C= 5 1B= 4 2B= 7 3B= 5 SS= 11 OF= 14 And as stated, 35 pitchers.

Spencer Schwellenbach (8) 226 and Jace La Violette (6) 201
The Most $ bid on a player was 320 (11) on Kristian Campbell (1 bid), 283 on La Violette (3 bids)
The most bids placed on one player was 3 for La Violette
Losing bid on La Violette 56 (11) was the lowest "highest losing bid" ever!
The Winning Bid Breakdowns. Last year's is in parenthesis.
300+ = 1 (3) 250-299 = 2 (0) 200-249 = 3 (4) 100-199 = 14 (15)
50-99 = 18 (11) 11-49 = 30 (20) 1-10 = 13 (26)
the 300+ was actually a bid of 320. 61 bids were under 100. That's 74% of winning bids under 100K.
This year there was 6048K total Draft Money available compared to last year's 6826K.
That averaged out to 302 this year and 341 last year.
A total of 5418 was spent on this year's draft. That's 90% of the available funds to get 81 players so this
worked out well. Last year we spent 81% of the funds on 79.
There was 630 left after the draft which is an average of 32K. Last year the post-draft average was 64K.
The most any team ended up with was 150 (15), 134 (18) and 97 (5). Again, the least ever.
8 teams got all 5 players, last year there were 7. These teams started with a mixture of high, low and
medium amount of money so there is no pattern here. Just luck.
The most players from an MLB team is 5 from NYM, MIA and CWS.
There were 3 college players and 2 high schoolers.
