Los Totally Awesomes are part of the "Original Six". The "Original Six" are the six teams that played in the very first season of SCK. The league was built on the backs of these six teams and LTA is one of them. They have been with Sun City Kickball since the very beginning and I mean the very beginning, when SCK was nothing more than pick-up games. Their team motto is, "You may beat us, but you can't BE us." Mainly because they could never beat anyone. However that is all about to change.
LTA practices more than any other team, by far. However I think that has more to do with loving them some good ol' kickball than just wanting to desperately win games. I know them very well and they are undoubtedly the closest group as a team you are ever going to find. They are friends before they are competitors and that's some good stuff! That's what kickball is all about. But I wouldn't be doing me due diligence if I didn't give you the entire scouting report for the LTA familia.
Pitching: They have finally found some good solid pitching with Chucky "I love me some headbands" Acuna. Good speed, nice curve, he should do well this coming season.
Offense: It looks like they picked up some more strong legs which is always a good thing. They ended the Spring Season with 29 points scored, which was on average with the rest of the league. Their biggest problem is they have NO bunting game and everyone knows if you want to score, you need to be able to bunt.
Defense: The defense is looking better. They have yet to lose a scrimmage so it seems as though the D is holding their own. Last season they gave up 25 runs in a division with some high scorers so that looks promising.
Prediction: They will best their 4-3 record from last season with ease. A playoff team for sure. However in a league stacked with ridiculously competitive teams, that purposely sandbag their rosters with great talent, it will be tough win it all.
