Despite a solid start to the month in April and a great July. Buies Creek struggled with mediocrity for most of the season, and was unable to secure a playoff spot in either half of the year. Notably, after winning 20 games in July, they faded down the stretch in August, losing 18 of their final 26 games, and ultimately finished just half a game out of a playoff spot.

The pitching held up their end, posting the league's second-best ERA at 3.56, as well as the second-best WHIP at 1.22.

10 players through the year made at least seven starts and compiled at least 50 innings as members of the rotation, and six of those players (Yoanys Quiala, Framber Valdez, Franklin Perez, Elieser Hernandez, Hector Perez, and Jorge Alcala) posted ERAs below 4.
