Well, I guess I learned something there. I thought it was one of the short season A ball leagues like we have here in Lowell.

That makes it a bit more of a puzzle why he's there, and less of one why so many of the hitters seemed above average from the stats.
Of course the opposite also fits, he had little experience and considering that he didn't do all that badly against some decent but not yet ML level pitchers.
Maybe they fast tracked him as a sink or swim scenario because of his age?
