Mary Reilly

## About

Mary Reilly is a generic girl with dark straight hair and an olive complexion.

Mary is a near-clone of Mikey Thomas, and a full clone of Murray Goldman. Mary and Murray have significantly worse bats than Mikey, but most other attributes are about the same. The idea is that Mikey's bat was buffed late in production of the original Backyard Baseball. Evidence for this idea comes from a physical playing card of Mikey's that lists his batting rating as 3/4 instead of 4/4.

## Scouting Reports

### Backyard Baseball 2001 and 2003

Mary Reilly

Mary's main strength is her throwing arm, at a perfect 100 throwing strength. This makes her a great candidate to play third base or right field, perhaps even catcher. She also has a decent glove, with 65/100 coordination. Her bat is rated an 8, but it's skewed towards contact, making it actually worse than a typical 8 bat. Her batting power is just 54 compared to her contact of 81. She can hit it to the outfield consistently, but she won't hit too many over the fence.

## League History

### BBL

#### Season 3

Generics were made widely available in Season 3, and Mary was drafted 165th overall in the 7th round by coach areyoutyler of the Dodgers. Mary was a decent member of the lineup, batting 0.635, scoring 16 times, and driving in 15 runs herself.

#### Season 4

Mary was drafted 144th to end the 6th round in the next draft, selected by coach aesnop of the Mariners. Although she wasn't the biggest contributor on offense, having the worst batting average and fewest runs scored on the team, she was a key member of a defense that had strong arms everywhere, and she helped the Mariners complete the only 14-0 regular season in BBL history.

#### Season 5

Perhaps due to the reputation of her bat being weaker than it seems, Mary went undrafted in Season 5 and did not play.

#### Season 6

Mary was drafted 193rd overall to begin the 9th round by coach mbless1415 of the Twins, but she was dropped from the team before the season began and did not play in Season 6.

#### Season 7

Mary returned in Season 7, selected with the 163rd pick in the 7th round by coach Sisu of the Diamondbacks. Mary had a decent season in the middle of a stacked Diamondbacks' lineup.

#### Season 8

Mary was drafted 83rd overall in the 4th round by rookie coach MartianMan of the Rockies, despite advice from league-mates to not draft her so high. Eventually, Mary was traded to coach Wizard of the Cubs. Mary had her worst season yet, batting a paltry 0.362 and scoring just 6 runs.

#### Season 9

In Season 9, Mary was taken with the 154th overall pick in the 7th round by coach Vissery of the Royals. She was primarily a defensive specialist, playing catcher for the Royals and gunning down baserunners.

#### Season 10

##### 2001

In Season 10, on the '01 side, Mary was drafted 139th overall in the 7th round by coach QuestionMonkey of the Pirates, who then traded her to the Twins and coach MikeMadness. Mary had a tough season, record career lows in RBIs (5) and runs scored (1), but she was a valuable member of a tough defense.

##### 2003

In the 2003 league, Mary reunited with coach Vissery, this time on the Mets, as she was taken with the 166th overall pick in the 8th round. Mary had the lowest batting average on the team but scored 12 times and was a menace behind the plate for the Mets, who made the playoffs as the #1 seed in the Frontyard League.
