Season 24 Power Rankings #1

Season 24 is out of the gates and it's time to check in with the first power rankings of the regular season.  And there's a new #1!  It's the back-to-back defending champions Helena!  Coming in at #2 in the preseason poll, the defending champs have shown they are primed to gun for a three-peat.  You could definitely make an argument for the top spot for #2 Little Rock, up 8 spots from their preseason ranking, as their offense is dominating opponents while still putting up respectable pitching numbers. #3 Las Vegas is also up 8 spots from the preseason rankings, while previous #1 Chicago and Honolulu round out the top 5.   Now for the biggest climbers and biggest falls since the preseason rankings!

Biggest Climbers: #17 Kansas City (+14), #14 Houston (+10), #19 Burlington (+10), #2 Little Rock (+8), #3 Las Vegas (+8), #13 Oklahoma City (+8)

Biggest Falls: #32 Tampa Bay (-17), #27 Buffalo (-11), #29 St. Louis (-10), #11 Seattle (-7)
