One month ago, I noticed that at the time, the four affiliates of the Pittsburgh Pirates all led their league in team on base percentage. In fact, they were all getting on base at a similar rate, with Indianapolis being the best with a .343 OBP and Altoona and West Virginia tied with the worst of the four, just .004 below Indy. So how have those teams held up a month later?
Indianapolis has really tumbled down the rankings in the International League. They now rank sixth with a .327 OBP, putting them 13 points behind the league leader.
