From the Notes
Walk the Line: Through the first three games of the season, Nashville batters are T2nd in the league in walks (22) and have struck out the least amount among league batters (26). Sounds pitchers have walked just 14 batters, T5th lowest in the PCL
Season-long Hitting Streak: Eli White is the lone hitter that has hit safely in all four games for the Sounds in 2019. White is 5-for-13 (.385) with a double and triple, scoring 2 runs and knocking in 2 RBI. He has also walked 3 times while striking out twice.
Setting the Pace with Walking: Nashville outfielder Willie Calhoun leads the PCL in free passes with six in the early going. He has also reached base safely in all four games this season. Calhoun has 168 career walks against 243 strikeouts.
Well Attended: Through the first four games, Nashvill has averaged the highest attendance with 8,470 fans. The sellout on Friday night with an attendance of 10,010 is the third-highest attendance in the PCL this season.
