CARDS COME TO TOWN

The Palm Beach Cardinals come to Fort Myers this week for their only trip to Hammond Stadium this season. Palm Beach is lighter on prospects than most FSL teams, possessing just three ranked prospects on their roster, and none in the Top-15 in the St. Louis system. However, their top four starting pitchers have combined to rack up 132.2 innings over 24 starts (5.5 IP/S)

IT'S MILLER TIME

The Twins' No. 9 prospect Noah Miller has turned a major offensive corner since the calendar flipped to May:

G AVG XBH OPS

April 16 .197 1 .568

May 6 .478 4 1.339

COMMANDING THE STRIKE ZONE

The Mighty Mussels' strong start is due in large part to their command of the strike zone on both sides of the ball. Entering the week, Fort Myers' hitters led the Florida State League in walks (139) and on-base percentage (.355) despite ranking fourth in batting average (.235). The Mussels' pitchers have walked the fewest batters in the circuit (75), helping them post the best WHIP (1.17) in the league despite ranking middle-of-the-pack in opponents' average (.224).

TOP PROSPECTS

The Mighty Mussels' roster currently features six ranked prospects. Here are their rankings according to MLB Pipeline and Baseball America:
