Your Tout Wars 2024 15-Team Mixed League Winners!

Scott Swanay won Tout Wars Mixed Auction 2024, decisively winning behind excellent seasons from Yordan Alvarez, Willy Adames, and Jose Altuve at the bat, and George Kirby and Emmanuel Clase on the mound.

Rudy Gamble is Tout Wars Mixed Auction champion. This is his third title in this league. He had a dominant draft, winding up with Yordan Alvarez, William Contreras, and Wyatt Langford on offense, and Framber Valdez and Chris Sale on the bump. He had only Evan Phillips as a closer but managed to scramble together enough saves for four points.

Ray Flowers is the 2024 Mixed Draft Alt Categories champion. MDAC uses IP instead of Wins and Holds+Saves instead of Saves. Ray had the 11th pick of the draft and took Shohei Ohtani. Enough said, though he took Trea Turner on the way back and picked up Framber Valdez and Joe Ryan in the next two rounds, which didn’t hurt.

Alan Harrison has won the Tout Wars Draft and Hold this year, his third championship in the last four years. He dominated across the board, with Elly De La Cruz, Tyler O’Neill, and Jurickson Profar on offense, and Paul Skenes, Hunter Greene, and Emmanuel Clase pitching.
