The Bradenton Marauders have issued the fewest walks in the Florida State League this season. They’re at 62 base on balls after Friday night’s game. The next closest team in the 12-team league has walked 68 batters. It’s really been a team effort for the Marauders, as no one on the club has walked more than eight batters. Among the three other affiliates of the Pirates, eight pitchers have given up more than eight walks already.
The Marauders aren’t alone among the affiliates in finding the plate though. The West Virginia Power have issued the second fewest amount of walks in the South Atlantic League this season, but the only team behind them has played two fewer games.
