On Thursday (April 4th), the Mobile BayBears kick off their final season in Mobile, Alabama. The team will relocate to Madison, Alabama after this season and the BayBears are looking to finish in walk-off style. The BayBears have an opportunity in 2019 to tie the Montgomery Biscuits with four Southern League titles. The organization is currently fourth on the all-time SLCS victories. One last season at Hank Aaron Stadium, is this the year they walk-off with their fifth Southern League championship?
In 2018, the Mobile BayBears were hiding in the bushes during the 2018 Walk-Off Sports Report Southern League Playoff Watch but the organization was eliminated from playoff contention rather early in the campaign. The organization finished 66-70, fourth in the South Division.
The BayBears were second in runs scored per game and runs batted in during the 2018 season but the rest of the batting statistics were pretty low. Things just didn't add up for the organization and in 2019 they will surely try to change pace and get back on track before time runs out in Mobile.
The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim locked dibs on Mike Trout for 12-years meaning the Angels are going to attempt to build their organization back into a championship contender. Trout is just one piece of a puzzle towards making a championship-contending organization. The rest is left to be built in their affiliations. The BayBears are just a small piece of that puzzle and despite moving to Madison, Mobile can still leave an impact that lasts for years.
No. 1 Angels prospect and no. 14 overall prospect Jo Adell is expected to return to Mobile in 2019 and will look to help lead the organization to the postseason. Griffin Canning, Brandon Marsh, Jahmai Jones, Patrick Sandoval, and Joe Gatto were all listed in MiLB's preview for the Mobile BayBears.
