In the Batting Department
Y-D?s Hunter Cole (Georgia) is second on the team in batting average (.346) entering Monday and leads the team in that category for all players who have appeared in at least 20 games. Former Mariner Jordan Tarsovich (VMI) has also helped pace the Red Sox offense since his arrival, posting a .340 mark.
In addition, Rob Fonseca (Northeastern) has found his way into the limelight, serving as one of the spark plugs of the Y-D lineup. Batting primarily out of the DH spot, the Madison, N.J. native has knocked in 13 runs and has shown how good his eye is, drawing 13 walks on the campaign.
On The Mound
Rising sophomore Justin Jacome (UC Santa Barbara) maintains the lowest earned run average of all Y-D pitchers with at least one start. In his five appearances (four starts), he has compiled a 3-0 record over 22 innings and a 1.63 ERA.
Phil Bickford (Cal State Fullerton) has transitioned to a bullpen role with Y-D after making 10 starts at school in 2014. He has made his mark in the closing role for the Red Sox with five saves, tying him for the league lead entering Monday. Originally from Newbury Park, Calif., he was selected 10th overall by the Toronto Blue Jays in the 2013 MLB Draft.
