For nearly the first two weeks of August I spent time in Florida watching the Daytona Tortugas and Pensacola Blue Wahoos play baseball. I arrived in Daytona just in time to get rained out on August 1st, but was able to see a double header the next day. After an off-day on Monday I would see the Tortugas play the next three days. Going in, I had some expectations of what I would see and some of those held true. Some of them didn’t.
Who stood out the most
Despite going 1-12 while I was there, the player that stood out the most to me was third baseman Taylor Sparks.
