Sure, it’s early, but hitting seems to be up and strikeouts seem to be down…
The DDN seems to think this team is better than the last two editions.

Dayton plays a pure hitters park, the last 3 years has reaped the following Park Effect numbers.
2002 – 1039
2003 – 1053
2004 – 1074
Those are pretty hitter friendly, I expect the press to latch on to the hitting is better part of it, hopefully they’ll see that it cuts both ways too.
A hitter friendly park makes your pitchers numbers look inflated too, just in the wrong way. I know when I look at any Louisville or Chattanooga numbers that I have to remember that both of those parks play slightly in favor of the hitter.
Another sell-out year in Dayton!
Heading down the 15 minute drive to 5/3 Field on Thursday….
