Jr.
Enjoyed one of the best all-around offensive seasons in county history, including setting a county single-season record for hits. Also filled in at shortstop and third base when needed, and recorded four saves in relief. “The best player I’ve ever had, and the best thing I can say is he’s a junior and comes back,” Coach Dave Demarest said.
