Dmitri Petrovich

## About

Dmitri is a genius, excellent at math and science. He also likes to eat paste.

Dmitri's near-clones are Horace Young and Karen Donato.

Dmitri is a solid line drive hitter and can hit home runs on occasion. He is also fast enough to leg out some doubles on line drives in the gap. However, he has pretty poor stamina, and tires out quickly if he runs too much. Dmitri is a below average defender, but has a decent arm. He is also one of the worst pitchers in the game.

### Backyard Football 2002

Dmitri Petrovich

Dmitri is a decent offensive player in football, but he is much more valuable on defense and special teams. His best offensive position is center, as he has one of the best blocking ratings of any backyard kid. On the other side of the ball, this also makes him a great defensive lineman. He is also known for having arguably the strongest kicking leg of all the backyard kids.

## League History

### BBL

#### Season 1

In season 1, Dmitri was the final draft pick of the Braves and coach GSchlim. He played catcher and batted in the middle of the lineup. He was second on the team in stolen bases with 11. Dmitri won the Season 1 World Series as a member of the Braves.

#### Season 2

Coach GSchlim went back to Dmitri again, this time selecting him in the 5th round with the 40th overall pick for the Angels. Dmitri once again played catcher and batted in the middle of the lineup. Dmitri improved in doubles, batting average, and slugging percentage.

#### Season 3

With an expanded player pool, Dmitri fell to pick 73, the first pick of the 4th round, taken by coach gmchappe of the Red Sox. Dmitri's numbers improved immensely, as he set career highs in home runs, runs, stolen bases, and batting average.

In Game 10 against the Hornets, Dmitri went an incredible 11-11 with 6 home runs, 17 RBI, and 12 runs scored as the Red Sox walloped the Hornets for 88 runs. Dmitri's 6 home runs are still tied for the most in a game by a single player.

#### Season 4

Dmitri fell even further in the Season 4 draft, finally being taken with pick 100 for the Brewers and coach JibboDaHibbo. Dmitri had another solid season, with career highs in doubles and RBIs, and he helped the Brewers reach the World Series, although they did not win.

#### Season 5 - Lulu

Dmitri played for the Brewers once again, this time being selected with pick #95 by his old coach, GSchlim. With the new Lulu rules in place, Dmitri's numbers took a noticeable decline.

#### Season 6

Dmitri was taken with his lowest draft pick yet, pick 109 for coach Mavfatha and the Orioles. Dmitri had perhaps his worst year offensively, but he still had fun.

#### Season 7

Dmitri's draft stock continued to plummet as coaches preferred kids with high stamina. Dmitri was finally selected with pick 141 in the 6th round by coach jlund24 of the Bombers (who was later replaced by Repub92). Dmitri's statistics were similar to his last two seasons, although he did set a career high in stolen bases with 18.

#### Season 8

Dmitri was taken with the 116th pick in round 5 by coach Eauxps I. Fourgott of the Melonheads. Dmitri enjoyed a fine season playing right field for the team and was a very useful batter at the home field of Tin Can Alley. He ended up posting his highest batting average in the Lulu era.

In Week 13 against the Twins, Dmitri had an excellent game, going 6-6 with a double, two home runs, and 12 RBIs. One of the home runs cleared the right field wall at Tin Can Alley, a feat only accomplished a handful of times in BBL history. This fantastic stat line earned Dmitri AL Batter of the Week honors.

#### Season 9

In Season 9, Dmitri was taken with the last pick of the 6th round, number 144 overall. Dmitri was not quite able to replicate his success from Season 8, but he had a decent season, batting 0.532 with 4 home runs, 12 RBIs, and 13 runs scored.

#### Season 10

##### 2001

In the 2001 league of Season 10, Dmitri joined the Blue Jays, coached by Eauxps I. Fourgott after being selected with the 122nd overall pick in the 6th round. Coach Eauxps was aiming to make an "all-tall" team, although Dmitri was the shortest of the bunch, the only 3/5 height while all other Jays were a 4 or a 5 height. Dmitri had perhaps his worst season as an rBBL participant, tallying career lows in batting average (0.465), RBIs (2), and runs scored (7).

##### 2003

On the 2003 side, Dmitri was drafted 87th overall in the 4th round by coach Wizard of the Rangers, who ended up dealing him to coach Toast of the Twins. Dmitri was a valuable member of the high-scoring lineup, batting 0.667 and scoring 24 times, helping the Twins make the playoffs.

## Trivia

* Dmitri is the BBL's all-time leader in doubles, with 142. This number is severely inflated by the grounderball era, as Dmitri has only 37 doubles in the "lulu" rules era.
