For the second straight year, the Dayton Dragons finished one victory short of qualifying for the Midwest League playoffs, completing their season with an overall record of 71-68 under third-year manager Jose Nieves. The 2015 season was the 16th year of operation for the Dragons as they extended their all-time sports record for consecutive sold-out games to 1,121.
In 2014, the Dragons season came down to the final game as they needed a win and a Fort Wayne loss to reach the post-season. The Dragons got their win, only to see Fort Wayne notch a victory to keep the Dragons out of the playoffs.
