All of those numbers are pretty impressive. Granted, the rookie level is not great competition, but Ellison's 5 HR is really surprising. Cam's 8 HR is probably even more surprising.

Buecheles numbers have gone down from the start of the year but he was moved up to a higher level. Seng is being used as a starter but Duke and Shore are being limeted to what looks like 2 innings an outing. Probably becuase they both have thrown a lot of innings already this year. I have noticed that the pitchers at that level seem to have very low or very high era's. I imagine it is because some have trouble making their pitches work with the flater seem ball. This probably is part of the reason for the high avg and hr's. Even I would have a shot at hitting a curve that doesn't curve. At the next level the batters are facing pitchers who have figured it out so the batting avg and hr's do start to drop off.
