2021 Season Results
14-player squad competing in weekly 7-inning doubleheaders. Finished mid-table with competitive performances throughout. One victory over division-leading Croydon, and multiple narrow defeats showing the team's quality.
Key performers: Martin Visser and Diego Ansorena as leading hitters. Yasu Minowa: 5.06 ERA, 4 wins. Lewis Bawden: 91 strikeouts, 4 wins.
8 of 12 roster spots filled by rookies. Improved significantly as the season progressed, despite tough early results. Mike Payne carried the pitching staff: 51 innings, 73 strikeouts, 4 wins.
Standout rookies: Sam Beckwith and Lee Bessent both batted over .500. Oliver Wong added 25 strikeouts on the mound in the second half.
A remarkable achievement — the Gold Cats fielded a team of 15 players aged 18 or under, with half under 16. Comprised solely of junior programme graduates, they came agonisingly close to the playoffs, missing out on the final day.
Jack Burdett: .880 batting average, 2.031 OPS — MVP. Kimi Hope: 43 strikeouts (pitching). Hamish Carle: 5.10 ERA.
2021 Gold Cats debuts: Arthur Haskew, Brad Manwaring, Henry Haskew, Patrick Bennett.
2021 Millers debuts: Bryan Boswell, Carl Beddow, Claudio Svaluto, John Dangerfield, Mike Smith, Oliver Wong, Sam Beckwith, Stephan Lanfermeijer.
