The 2013 season saw a changing of the guard. For the first time in NALB history, the Brooklyn Knights did not make the playoffs. The Knights’ 96 win season would have been good enough to win any division besides its own. However, the St. Rock Mudcats ended Brooklyn’s 13 consecutive division titles with a mighty 110 win season. The remaining division leaders from 2012 repeated. The Firecats, Corals, and Slam all make a return to the NALB playoffs.

The League Series match-ups:
Nashville Firecats (90-72) vs. St. Rock Mudcats (110-52)
Richmond Slam (92-70) vs. Key West Corals (92-70)

Playoff injury report:
The Firecats will be without two of its key players. Nashville’s RF Chris Lee and MR Danilo Fernández are on the disabled list. The Mudcats have been quite healthy all season. They are at full strength for the playoffs. The Slam experienced two significant injuries late in the season. Richmond’s star 1B Yuan Li was injured in August and is still out; CF Angel Jirnénez fractured his thumb in September and is also on the DL. The Key West Corals are healthy with the exception of SP Ray Cruz. He suffered a season ending elbow injury back in April.
