## Scouting Reports

### Backyard Baseball 2001 and 2003

Angela Delvecchio

Angela has a great power bat and has been known to hit balls over 600 ft. without any boosts. Not the highest contact or the most elite slugger, but she's still pretty good. However, her slow speed makes her a liability on the basepaths, meaning she's not good for much on offense besides hitting home runs.

Angela is a menace on the mound as one of the few players with pitching 10. She has a strong Slowball, Left Hook, Right Hook, and Spitball with decent stamina. However, when the ball is in play she's a complete liability. Angela is possibly the worst fielder in the game, with a terrible glove and a piddling arm, and that combined with her slow speed makes her an easy target for a hit indeed. In addition, throwing the ball at all is quite an effort for her - a single throw will deplete her juice enough that on the mound, she's close to low enough to start losing control of her pitches. If not on the mound, Angela is a bottom-tier fielder.

Despite her pitching prowess and home run bat, Angela is a risky pick because she's so slow and terrible on defense. Serious contenders probably will wish to avoid picking her, as she's too much of a weakness in an AI defense. If you pick her, make sure you have a strong infield to help compensate for her.

When playing against her brother Tony, Angela gets a major stat boost, usually with ratings of 10 hitting, 9 running, 10 pitching, and 7 fielding. The really noticeable changes here are in running and fielding, as Angela becomes fast and an overall excellent fielder. On these days she's a viable choice anywhere in the field and better for more at the plate than just hitting home runs; however, as this won't come more than twice a season, it's not wise to plan around these days.

### Backyard Football 2002

Angela Delvecchio

Angela's main skills are blocking and kicking, but her lack of speed and offensive abilities make her one of the least desirable Backyard Kids to draft.

## League History

### BBL

#### Season 1

Angela was picked by the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, under coach crazyei8hts, in the eighth round (pick 49 overall). In the field, she split time at second base and pitcher. At the plate, she was one of the key components of early Bomberball, hitting 11 home runs.

#### Season 2

Angela was again selected by the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, under coach crazyei8hts, in the sixth round (pick 41 overall). She had a similar statline to her Season 1 performance, pitching a bit and also smashing 13 home runs.

#### Season 3

In a change of scenery, Angela was picked by the Baltimore Orioles, under coach Mavfatha, in the second round (pick 33 overall). She was one of the team's top performers, although her final statline was nothing too impressive and mostly consisted of singles. She also did the vast majority of the team's pitching with an average statline.

#### Season 4

Angela was originally picked by the San Diego Padres, under coach SDCore, in the sixth round (pick 121 overall), but later traded to Eauxps I. Fourgott's Super-Duper Melonheads. On the Melonheads, Angela performed slightly worse at the plate than in her previous season, and was one of the weakest hitters on the team overall. However, once again taking up the role of primary pitcher, she did improve on her Season 3 performance slightly. She also placed second in the midseason Home Run Derby, including an impressive eight-HR second round, ultimately losing in the final round to Mike Piazza.

#### Season 5 - Lulu

Angela was originally picked by the Milwaukee Brewers, under coach GSchlim, in the eighth round (pick 171 overall). However, Schlim almost immediately regretted his choice and tried to trade her away, but to no avail. After the end of the draft, Schlim released her in to the general pool, where it looked like she might sit out her first season before Eauxps I. Fourgott chose to pick her for the Super-Duper Melonheads once again.

#### Season 6

Angela shocked the world when she was chosen with the #1 overall pick in the Season 6 Draft. Coach Jarod Johnson drafted her for the Expos because "she's a good pitcher".

#### Season 7

Angela made a triumphant return to the mound in Season 7, albeit at a much lower draft pick. Eauxps I. Fourgott took her for his Melonheads with the 109th pick in the 5th round. She pitched almost every out for the Melonheads, putting up excellent numbers with 112 strikeouts in 87 2/3 innings.

#### Season 8

Angela's draft stock continued to plummet, and she was finally scooped up with the 159th pick in the 7th round by coach shrewsbury91 of the Expos. Angela had an unremarkable season at the plate and on the mound, and the Expos missed the playoffs with a record of 7-7.

#### Season 9

In Season 9, Angela was drafted by GuySmiley of the Bombers in the 3rd round with the 67th overall pick. However, after the Bombers' scandal, the team was disbanded.

#### Season 10

##### 2001

The next season, in the 2001 league, Angela was taken with the 161st pick in the 8th round by coach mattitude of the Cubs. In a power-packed lineup, Angela hit 7 home runs to help the cause. She was also the Cubs' main pitcher, winning the NL Pitcher of the Week award 3 times.

##### 2003

In the 2003 league, Angela was drafted 141st overall in the 7th round by coach alex7456 of the Angels. Angela hit 7 home runs on the 2003 side just as she did on the '01 side. On the mound, she was even more deadly, pitching 72 1/3 innings with a 1.08 ERA and 110 strikeouts. She led the Backyard League in strikeouts and won the BL Pitcher of the Week Award 4 times. She finished third in voting for the BL Ace Wilson Award.
