The Daytona Tortugas are off to a great start to their minor league season. They are 9-3 after last nights victory. Outside of one game, where they allowed 18 runs in an 18-13 loss, the pitching staff has performed quite well. But, it’s the offense that has really stood out for the Reds Advanced-A affiliate.
The Florida State League is known as the most pitcher friendly league in all of minor league baseball. The league average OPS has generally been between .650-.675 for a long time. The combination of weather and large ballparks tend to keep offense suppressed.
