Important context: The average OPS in The Pacific League is in the .830 range, or was as of Monday or Tuesday this week. It’s great to see him doing something more than fail at the plate, but I want to give him some more time and see if he starts driving the ball a bit more. |

I would understand it if it was just a power issue. If the field is bigger, whatever. But if the field is bigger, you would expect less power and more avg. But nobody in Wilmington ever does shit, either for avg or for OPS. What is the biggest factors causing this? I assume it's a combination of alot of things but it's quite fascinating. |

You’re right - it’s a lot of things. The PCL has a bunch of friendly hitting environments (park size, local climate making the ball fly, the ball, the league having a lot of guys too good for the minors but not quite good enough for The Shpw). The Carolina league is a pitchers league because it is primarily northeastern, so the weather sucks, and you’ve got a bunch of big, old parks. Believe Wilmington has some sort of mountains affect that makes the ball travel like crap in the air. |

We’re watching Omaha from behind home plate tonight. Bubba popped out to right his first time up.
