In the first of our MiLB season recaps we take a look at the DSL Indians, who turned their season around in fine style by winning 28 of their last 40 games.
DSL Indians 40-32 (2nd in division)
The Domincan Summer League is essentially a feeder for the Arizona League. Each year a collection of 16- to 21-year-old prospects from around the Caribbean assembles in the Dominican Republic for a three-month season, with the top prospects earning a ticket stateside for the following year.
DSL alumni who have made it to the big leagues with the Indians include Danny Salazar (DSL 2007), Jesus Aguilar (2008-09), and Giovanny Urshela (2009), while other top prospects like Erik Gonzalez (2009-10) and Luis Lugo (2011) are also DSL imports, along with speedster Gabriel Mejia, who tore up the Arizona League this year after performing a similar feat in the DSL in 2014 .
