Some unbelievable strikeout numbers at AA Richmond, A Eugene, A San Jose for the respective staffs. For instance Seth Corry in 10.1 innings has 20 K's at Eugene. Jelly has almost double the K's. There are a few hot hitters but not many. So far the minor leagues are shaping up like the bigs... plenty of strikeouts and low batting averages.

Yep.  I’m sure the hitting instructors are all emphasizing launch angle and exit velocity.  Contact hitters are going the way of the dinosaurs.
