Air Force; Loaded with Hitters Not so Much with Pitchers

The Falcons ended up a pretty good 30-27 in 2016. They could hit, brother, could they hit. Think .325 for the team BA and you see what I mean. I always doubted their pitching because of where they play. However, they did end up with the Co-POY in Griffin Jax which means he could pitch most anywhere and he did. But what about the coming season?

They had six .300 hitters last season and one (Tyler Jones) with serious pop. Even those that didn't see much action could hold their own in the batting box. The team ERA, on the other hand, was not that good at 5.
