In 2021, Bradenton went 71-48 and then torched Tampa for the league title. With many of the same players, the 2022 Grasshoppers went 58-70. Lots of players performed below expectations, some far below. The pitching, in particular, could be pretty brutal. At the same time, several players had big seasons, although unfortunately for the record of the Hoppers, in some cases that led to shortened stays.
