There is a lot more than speed that goes into the fast start. It certainly doesn’t hurt that nearly half of the Dragons roster spent some time here in Dayton last summer.
That being said, a good start doesn’t always mean you’ll get to the finish line first. In 2014 the Dragons started the season with a 9-3 record and ended up two games under .500 and out of the playoffs.
The Dragons take a five-game winning streak to Midland, Michigan this weekend where they face off against a Great Lakes team that is dead last in ERA in the Midwest League. Loons pitchers have also been lit up for nine home runs in their first seven games.
