289 Shares

As part of its ramp-up to previewing the 2020 season, LaxRecords is taking a look back at the previous decade and the players who made it memorable. All claims and stats are based on information reported to LaxRecords.com before this story. There were 968 players reported to LaxRecords.com over the decade.

There was a total of 252,466 points scored by players reported to LaxRecords.com throughout the 2010s.

Where Are They From

Massachusetts and New Jersey each accounted for slightly more than 11 percent of that total. Those states have players who scored more than 28,000 points during the decade. New York players scored 22,988 points over the same span.

New York, Pennsylvania, and North Carolina round out the Top 5 for the most reported points scored. Each of the Top 5 scored at least 19,000 points.

Class of 2019 Rules

As detailed in the Top 100 Best Scoring Seasons of the Decade, scoring trended upwards throughout the decade, so it's not surprising that the Class of 2019 accounted for 19.02 percent of the total scoring. That 2019 graduating class scored 49,071 points in their careers. That's 9,000 more points than Class of 2018 players reported to LaxRecords. Every class from 2013-on scored at least 20,000 points.

The Class of 2015 had three players join the elite group. Larson Sundown from Akron (N.Y.), Nathan Solomon from Centennial (Ga.), and Michael McCormack from Mount Greylock (Mass.) all finished their careers with more than 600 career points.
