What on earth happened to Biloxi’s pitching staff? This team is horrible. Everyone is talking about how incredible the offense is & every time I check their game score, they’ve given up tons of runs. It appears they have had a terrible month & have fallen under .500. It seems all our teams have pitching problems. What’s the story?

For the season Biloxi is kind of like the AA version of the Washington Nationals...5.74 runs scored per game is best in the Southern League, 5.75 runs allowed per game is the worst in the Southern League.

One big factor is that they have the youngest staff in the league (22.9 average age), second youngest is 23.9 and league average is 24,6. Another is that guys like Tyson Hardin, Brett Wichrowski, Cameron Wagoner, Will Childers, Jack Seppings, and Mark Manfredi were all promoted to Nashville at some point.

As for the rest of the non-Complex affiliates...Wilson is the youngest staff (20.2 average) versus 21.5 second youngest and 22.0 league average in the Carolina League & are 9th of 12 teams in runs allowed per game. 

Wisconsin is the youngest staff (21.7 average age) versus 21.9 second youngest and 22.8 league average in the Midwest League & are 8th of 12 teams in runs allowed per game.

Nashville is the most age appropriate at 27.2 average age versus a 27.2 average age in the International League and are 2nd of 20 teams in runs allowed per game.

Brewers have the youngest hitters in the Carolina, Wisconsin and International Leagues also, plus the second youngest by a fraction in the Southern League so reading between the lines it seems like they believe challenging their players against older, more experienced competition is best for their own development.

Wilson (61 W - 53 L), Wisconsin (61 W - 51 L), and Nashville (66 W - 57 L) plus both DSL squads have all posted winning records even with the abundant youth (& mostly less than stellar pitching) proliferating across the levels.

Based on these negative pitching statistics - Did Milwaukee promote the young kids too quickly? They looked overmatched. That can’t be good for their confidence. 

The Shuckers have been in a dreadful slump & look like they could miss the playoffs.
