On the pitching side:

Connor Veillet of the Giants is challenging the WHIP league record of 0.92 held by Justin Reid (2011). His WHIP is currently at 0.79.
Joel Pineau (Indians) and Graeme Baxter (Angels) each have 5 wins, 2 shy of the 2014 record of 7 wins held by DJ Leiding (Giants).

James Stuckey (Angels) has struck out 35 batters thus far and has his eye on reaching the league strikeout record of 51 K's - Desjardins (2015).

On the hitting side:

Duncan Elgert of the Indians leads the way in many batting categories. His batting average (.556) (Shane Stewart - .545 - 2013), his RBI totals (24) (record is 27 held by 3 players - Constance, Heaton and Gillies) and his doubles totals (9) (Jacob Cuch - 12 - 2015).

Graham Fadar .471 (Giants), Adam Gorchynski .426 (Dodgers), Steven Wanvig .417 (Indians), James Stuckey .417 (Angels) and Nicholas Adam .411 (Angels) are all chasing Elgert for the top league batting average. Fadar has already tied the league record of 5 triples (Trent Barr 2012 and Shane Stewart 2012).
