An 8 WAR at 38.
Jaime Cruz's 8.2 WAR 57 HR season at 38 is probably the only season that can top it at that age.
On that same topic, Steel City is probably the most hitter friendly park but we've seen some career years from pitchers there so this good ole game (like scouting) is a surely a crapshoot

Who was your 1B that had a monster HR binge season but never repeated it?

Alex Meyers?
Kinda speaks to your STC example with SPs where you just never know. Meyers was a lefty, lefties are at .994, so mostly even but a tad tougher than avg to hit homers.
Meyers had a 4 year run in SHL of 33/34/48//31 HRs then never reached 30 again for the rest of his 17 year career anywhere outside of Sheltown.
Domingo Enriquez has thrown 120 or more pitches in 7 of his 8 starts
Dallas Alexander (he of ~45 stamina) has eclipsed 140 twice!
Max Leitch, also of Cookeville, the only other to cross the 140 barrier
Burgess is doing fine though. I couldn't give the guy away for 2 seasons, and he's gonna be a 4-5 WAR player most likely in SF. He's even holding his own in the field through nearly 40 games, basically about average defense at 2B.
