So far, on our Washington Nationals 2016 Minor Leagues in review series, we have looked at triple-A Syracuse, double-A Harrisburg, and high-A Potomac. Today, we take a look at the low-A Hagerstown Suns in the South Atlantic League, who clinched a playoff spot by winning the North Division in the first half.
Although Hagerstown lost in the semifinals to the Lakewood Blue Claws (Philadelphia Phillies), they finished the season with a 83-57 record, which was seven games better than any other team in the SAL. Plus, the Suns have made it into the postseason in four of the last five years.
