Welcome to round 2 of the Jason Romano Commemorative NLC’s hottest baller contest. 15 of the best-looking players on NLC (plus the newest Mariner) face off in a single-elimination tournament.

Today’s match-up is the only round 2 contest that doesn’t include a Red, ensuring that at least one extra-Cincinnatian will make it to round three. Chris Duffy of the Pirates goes up against Brad Ausmus of the Astros. Last time around, Ausmus took down a Pirate in Sean Burnett, but in round 1 Chris Duffy won over Billy Petrick with 83% of the vote. It could go either way.
