Anyone else notice the low offensive numbers? I'm just wondering if this has any impact hitters/pitchers development.

In real life, the Pacific Coast League is notoriously hellacious for pitchers. Almost all of the parks play like Coors field (Albuquerque, Colorado Springs, Fresno, El Paso, etc etc) so its very common to see decent pitchers sporting mid-5 ERA’s and non-prospect batters hitting .300 with 30 homers. The show doesn’t use real minor league parks and doesn’t replicate this effect.
