Three teams made big, positive moves on the list. The Miami Panthers shot up five spots from 12th to 7th. They remain the top pitching team for the third consecutive week. Their big improvement has come in the hitting and fielding categories. On August 11, the Panthers ranked dead last in the league in hitting and 22nd in fielding. In the current rankings, they have improved to 16th in both categories. The improvements have made an impact in the standings as well as Miami has won 14 of their last 17 games, fitting a ten game win streak in the middle of their current run. They currently sit atop the Classic League's Southeast Division with a ten game lead on their closest competitor.
Another team on the move is the Baltimore Stouts. Their roller-coaster season sees them jumping six spots in the rankings, improving from 14th on August 20 to 8th currently. The Stouts have made improvements across the board. The pitching has finally cracked the top 20 after ranking next to last in the last two lists. Baltimore has gone 9-1 in the last ten and are winners of 12 of their last 14.
The other big gainer in the list is the Milwaukee Phantoms, who make a five spot gain from 16th to 11th. Whereas Miami made their gains in hitting and Baltimore in pitching, the Phantoms have made their jump in the fielding category, currently occupying the top spot in the league with the leather. Milwaukee ranks 4th in overall team fielding percentage, and their catchers have thrown out 12 of 26 opposing base-runners, good for a .462 caught stealing percentage.
Going in the other direction are the New York Rippers and Cincinnati Red Stockings. The Rippers have dropped seven spots from 15th to 22nd, while the Red Stockings have fallen from 7th to 13th. Both teams have struggled in the standings of late. Cincinnati has gone 10-14 since the last rankings, while the Rippers are in a free-fall, going only 4-17 in their last 21 games.
