Season 26 Power Rankings #1

A quarter of the regular season is in the books in Season 26, so it's time to check in with the power rankings!  Always a lot of shuffling in the first rankings, so let's get to it.  On top, motivated by a low preseason ranking, Little Rock, the defending champion, jumps five spots to #1.  They have the top ranked pitching staff and #2 offense.  Jumping an amazing 21 spots up to #2, is the red hot New York Yankees.  Their pitching has been good and their offense has been great!  Buffalo is up 15 spots to #3, and the NL New Yorkers and AL Chicago team round out the top 5.  A lot of shuffling indeed, so let's check out the biggest climbers and biggest falls since the preseason rankings!

Biggest Climbers: #2 New York (AL) (+21), #13 New Britain (+18), #3 Buffalo (+15), #14 Burlington (+13), #17 Norfolk (+12)

Biggest Falls: #20 Charlotte (-19), #23 Louisville (-13), #25 Ottawa (-11), #27 Seattle (-11), #21 Syracuse (-9)

Here are the complete rankings, good luck to all as the season rolls on!
