A Studpendous Season - Keaton Anthony’s .356 batting average is the third best in BlueClaws history (min 200 at bats) behind Chris Duffy’s .384 in 2012 and Michael Taylor’s .361 in 2008. While he didn’t have enough at bats to qualify for the SAL or the FSL League title (he hit .322 with Clearwater), he does for the overall MiLB crown, and Anthony’s combined batting average this season is third best in the minors among qualified hitters (Chandler Simpson of the Rays leads at .356). - Media Notes
