.@ozzie and @ronaldacunajr24 are the first teammates in major league history age 22 or younger to win @sluggernation Silver Sluggers in the same season #Braves

The #Braves are really good #analysis #ChopOn

How good has Mike Soroka been for the #Braves this year? He allowed one run in 8.0 innings and his ERA went UP #ChopOn

Some personal news: Excited to announce I will be joining the @Braves communications department. Going to miss everyone in @TripleABaseball but can’t wait for this new chapter #ChopOn

In addition to @IowaCubs historic 1st inning yesterday, OF Donnie Dewees drew four walks, the most by a #PCL player in a game this year. I-Cubs had 15 walks as a team (in only 7 innings!), to establish a new franchise record #MiLB

Luis Urias' (@epchihuahuas) 5 home runs the last two games matches the #PCL record for most home runs in a two-game stretch, done two other times in the League's 117-year history, most recently by Phoenix's Matt Williams in 1988 (May 25-26) #MiLB

#PCL records matched by @IowaCubs in their 15-run 1st inning: RUNS, FIRST INNING (Modern Era - since '58) - Two other times; most recently by Hawaii on 5/19/1975 MOST GRAND SLAMS, INNING, ONE CLUB (2) - Four other times; most recently by @memphisredbirds on 7/22/2012 (4th Inn)

Add another! Dixon Machado's 9th inning HR for @IowaCubs is the 11th walk-off in the #PCL this season. A staggering 20 percent of the League's games have been decided in walk-off fashion #MiLB

What a start to the #PCL season! Through 54 completed games, there have been 10 walk-offs (18.5% of total games). Four teams (@FresnoGrizzlies, @RiverCats, @missionsmilb, @RainiersLand) already own two walk-off wins #MiLB

Elier Hernandez's (@OMAStormChasers) 6 RBI in Omaha's 12-run second inning falls one short of tying the #PCL record for most RBI in a single inning, done four times, most recently by Oklahoma's Ryan Roberts on July 26, 2008 #MiLB

Additionally, four clubs (@ABQTopes, Rodgers; @RRExpress, Whitley; @missionsmilb, Hiura; @RainiersLand, Sheffield) had its organization's No. 1 prospect on their Opening Day roster #PCL #MiLB

Three of the #PCL Opening Day 25-man rosters featured at least 10 organizational top 30 prospects, per @BaseballAmerica, with @memphisredbirds and @RRExpress leading the way with 11; #RRExpress the only #PCL team to have each of its organization's top three prospects #MiLB

Welcome to @TripleABaseball, @missionsmilb! The Milwaukee affiliate's Opening Day roster features six of the #Brewers top 10 prospects, per @BaseballAmerica, including three of the top five (No. 1 - Hiura, No. 3 - Ray, No. 5 - Brown) #PCL #MiLBOpeningNight

For comparison, there were 3,322 #PCL transactions in 2017 and 3,056 in 2016. This past season, teams averaged 217 transactions/club, up from 2017 (208/club) and 2016 (191/club) #MiLB

The official transaction count for all 16 #PCL teams in 2018: 3,478. Teams had as few as 128 transactions and as many as 310 #MiLB

Also noted in the release: 15 of the 16 #PCL clubs are participating in @MiLB's growing Copa de la Diversión initiative, representing over one-fifth of the 72 #MiLB participants in 2019

.@memphisredbirds Stubby Clapp is the 3rd manager in #PCL history to win League titles in each of his first 2 years managing in #PCL, joining Tony DeFrancesco (@RiverCats, '03-04) and Del Wilber (Spokane, '73-74). Clapp is the 22nd manager to win at least two #PCL titles #MiLB

With 75 wins in 2018, @okc_dodgers have surpassed @RiverCats for most wins by a #PCL club this decade, with 689. The Dodgers have had 7 consecutive winning seasons, the longest active such streak in the #PCL

A record 1,092 players appeared in #PCL games during the 2018 season, representing 22 countries/territories across the world. The @okc_dodgers roster featured a League-high 12 countries/territories, including Nicaragua, Taiwan, Germany and South Korea #MiLB
