The minor league season is nearly halfway through, and the 2021 MLB draft begins today, so it’s time for us to check in with the
Triple-A Las Vegas Aviators.
Vegas is a hitter’s paradise, within a hitter’s league in the Triple-A West, so as expected the story lines all revolve around massive offense the Aviators are scoring and allowing
seven runs per game. That means some position player prospects are looking really good, and all the pitchers are posting ugly numbers, and it can be difficult to hash out which parts are real and which are desert mirages.

The Triple-A Las Vegas Aviators got their 2021 season started a couple days later than the rest of the farm system, but they’re now in full swing.
So far, Las Vegas Ballpark has been the hitter’s paradise we remember from 2019. The Aviators have played five games, winning three of them, and the total run differential was 33-31 against them, more than six runs per team per game. One of the contests ended with an 11-10 margin.
So far, two top outfield prospects have stood out amid the lineup, getting off to exactly the hot starts we hoped to see from them.
