The team finished the regular season with a record of 68 wins and 76 losses. They finished sixth in the league, as the the American Association was not divided into divisions that year, which kept them out of the post-season.

Regular season

Due to the 1994 Major League Baseball strike, the Sounds' roster was heavily populated by replacement players."Team History." "2002 Nashville Sounds Yearbook". 2002: 11.] The team got off to a 3–15 start and was never able to recover in the standings.

Originally, Michael Jordan, who played with the White Sox's Double-A Birmingham Barons in 1994, was signed to play the 1995 season as a non-drafted free agent for the Sounds. However, with the ongoing MLB strike, Jordan decided to quit the sport rather than becoming a replacement player and being labeled a strikebreaker.
