Hey UTRMinors followers, I’ll be away from the boxscores for a spell and unable to provide you with the daily dose of top performers. To fill the gap, I’ve filter out my system’s spreadsheets to offer you the top performances from each level, beginning with the NL East on May 3rd. Keeping with the UTR criteria, I continue to track pitchers that are 25 years and younger, age/level appropriate. I’ve scheduled a division a day, and the daily Top Daily Performances will return shortly after the AL West.
