1. How are Jyväskylä’s Kirittäret doing?
Jyväskylä’s Kirittäret lost several top players during the winter, while the baseball players of the year Emma Körkkö and Susanne Ojaniemi ended their careers and Ella Korpela moved to the ranks of Manse.
Last fall, Kirittäret overcame the difficulties and sensationally became the champion, but who will beat the runs this year? The outside game and especially the firing line hold up compared to others, but despite the excellent last season Sara Kujasella mixed Tinja Töyrylä are unnecessarily big boots to fill in repatriation situations.
Gamemaster Mattias Kitola got to enjoy Körkö and Ojaniemi’s high-quality and reliable solutions with the stick last season. Now he has a big job to do.
2. Will Lapuan wedge Virki all the way to the finals?
Already last season, the women’s Superpesis season was extremely exciting for the four toughest teams, Manse PP’s Kirittäri, Pesäkarhuje and Virkiä.
This season, it’s even hard to say which of the four will make it to the finals. A steady and exciting season is in store, so the famous small margins take on a significant role.
Lapua Virkiä’s last season ended with a bronze medal, although the semifinal loss to Manse PP, which suffered from locker problems, was certainly bitter. Virkiä’s team has remained the same, and only in the lead Tero Viinamäki has changed Matti Larikkaan.
Thanks to the weakening of Kirittäri, Virkiä has an excellent chance to even reach the finals. The batting joker Janette Lepistö is still the best in Superpesis, if not still the best batsman. Sacristan Anni Heikkilä is great, but how does the copper section hold up? Especially Inka Ronkainen there is room for improvement compared to last season.
3. Does Mansella have enough players?
Manse PP starts with a very thin material. The team has only 14 players, while including the Jokers, 12 players can be named to the lineup. Absences are inevitably seen. How does the team cope with injuries? Are there any replacement players at all during the season?
For example, one of the most important players in the team Virpi Hukka has experienced several injuries in recent years. When the margins are small this year, we could not afford to lose individual games or lose points due to a light lineup.
According to their website, Manse has 13 contracted players, but 16-year-old Elli Kangas is missing from the list. He has played as a joker in one training match at the end of April.
Manse is taking a huge risk. This may work, but it may also backfire. Despite everything, Manse is the biggest champion favorite in the women’s Superpesis.
