P2Daily: How The Pirates Minor League Teams Performed Relative To Their League

Numbers don’t always paint the full picture, especially without some sort of context. A prospect may have a really high average, but you can always ask what level they are at and how old they are. That adds more to painting the picture. How they are performing compared to the rest of their league also adds clarity.

Maybe they just have a .705 OPS but the league is extremely pitcher friendly, and that number is still batting above average compared to the other hitters.

I decided to take each team and compared their overall OPS and ERA to their league and who were some of the players who performed above average.
