Roache Reference Points

A week ago, I tabbed Victor Roache as the Cape Cod League’s mid-season MVP. Since then, Roache has put up even better numbers. He’s 8 for his last 14 with a homer and eight RBI. It’s getting to the point where Roache is having not just a great season, but a historical Cape League season.

So let’s get some context.

Roache is hitting .397. The best season-ending average since 2000 is .388.

Roache has five home runs, which puts him on pace for eight. That’s about the average for a league leader.

Roache has 24 RBI, which puts him on pace for 39. That would be a new high for the 2000s. Daniel Carte had 38 in 2004.

Roache’s on-base percentage is .529. That would demolish the 2000s record of .488, which is owned by Kevin Youkilis.

Roache’s slugging percentage is .667. Only Conor Gillaspie in 2007 finished higher than that at .673.

So yeah, this is quite a season Mr. Roache is having. If he keeps going anywhere close to this clip, we might be putting him in the company of the Evan Longorias and the Kyle Rollers of the Cape League world.
