Review of last season
2019 season returned to playoffs after six years. Tampa Bay Light has this momentum and has played the best performance in team history last season. The 40 wins are the most, and the major leagues are second only to the Los Angeles Dodgers. regular season, they surprisingly defeated the strong division rival New York Yankee with an 8-2 record, and won the No. 1 seed of the United Nations. playoffs to the Toronto Bluebirds, Yankees and Houston Astronauts and advanced to the World Championship. Unfortunately, facing the luxurious Dodge's cosmic lineup, Guangming has insufficient strength, on-the-spot performance and lineup scheduling. He unfortunately lost and failed to achieve a breakthrough in the World Championship championship.
Star player
Randy Arozarena : This magical Cuban boy hit 10 home runs in the playoffs, setting a new MLB record for a century. His powerful carry performance is the biggest key to the Light being able to enter the World Championship . He is still qualified to compete for the best rookie this year, but some observers believe that his extraordinary performance in October last year is not a reflection of his real strength. Can Arosarina break these doubts?
Brandon Lowe (Brandon Lowe):The regular season glory can win 40 wins, and Luo has made great contributions. What’s bad about is that the second baseman lost all his touch after entering the playoffs, and he dragged the team down at a critical moment. Of course this does not prevent him from being one of the cornerstone players of the current Light, and Luo has the ability to prove this.
Tyler Glasnow : Height 2.03 meters, Glasnow's straight and curved balls are unparalleled , and the famous brilliance of pitcher cultivation attaches great importance to his talent. The lack of a third ball type and unstable ball control restrict Glasno from going further. Whether he can transform into a top ace in the major league this year is worth looking forward to.
Nick Anderson : Maybe many people remember Anderson tragically at G6 of the World Championships last year. He lost two points in a row and let the Light lose the World Championships. But don't forget Anderson's dominant performance in the regular season . Since joining the Light, he has only been on the base rate per inning in two seasons. As long as you have enough rest, Anderson is still one of the best rescue pitchers in MLB.
dark horse player
Tsuka Kazuchi : This Japanese heavy gunner was an important signing for Guangming last season, but the interrupted spring training and limited regular season games made Tsuka too late to adapt to the MLB competition environment. He encountered major problems in judging the range of the ball and keeping up with the pace of the ball, but some wonderful backward home runs fully demonstrate Tsuka's strength. Giving him plenty of opportunities, perhaps Tsuka can bring great surprises to fans on both sides of the Pacific.
Offseason changes
In order to save expenses, Light gave up Charlie Morton's team option and traded the ace left-handed shot Blake Snell to the San Diego Padres. The way the light fills the vacancy of two starters on one left and one right is very consistent with the team's style: sign multiple cheap veteran pitchers.
This includes the team's former ace Chris Archer, as well as Michael Wacha and Rich Hill, who were plagued by injuries in their careers. In a full regular season, an MLB team had to invest more than 1,400 innings in total, making the pitcher lineup that looked a little green and yellow to complete such a huge amount of work is a big problem for the Light coaching staff.
However, Guangming has the confidence to "lease" the decline in books. He has the number one farm. they can upgrade a group of top rookies led by Wander Franco to the major league at any time. They will be Guangming's biggest source of reinforcement this season.
Team Outlook
Many fans may have high expectations for them this year because of the excellent performance of Light last season. The first thing to emphasize here is that because 2020 is a short season, even the high winning rate of 66.67% in the regular season is relatively limited. As mentioned earlier, the intensity of the Light lineup has declined. Considering these comprehensive factors, it is believed that they will still be as strong as last year, and dominating the US East may be too optimistic.
However, as a civilian team, Light has always been good at creating surprises. In the past three years, Light has accumulated 226 wins in the regular season, ranking fifth in the major leagues during the same period. When the three-year season of started, their lineup was not very eye-catching, so in October this year, if the light appeared on the roster of the playoff team, it would be no longer necessary to be too surprised.
