OKLAHOMA CITY--Utility man Braden Zarbnisky has been clutch for the West Virginia University baseball team the entire season. The sophomore literally does it all. He pitches, hits, steals bases and plays all over the field but what makes Zarbnisky special is the fact that he does it all well. In the Mountaineers' 8-4 loss to Oklahoma State on Thursday, the Marietta, Ga. native shined at the plate. He went 4-for-4 with one RBI and scored one run. “It was just being confident, working on my hitting, keep on driving the ball and going out there with confidence, don’t let the pitcher out-think you, just work on driving the ball," he said. "If he gets two strikes just work on putting out the play and see if you can beat anything out.” That has
Zapata earned Second Team All-Conference for the second-straight season. He leads the team in RBI’s (39), doubles (15) and home runs (four). Zapata’s .325 batting average sits fourth on the team this season. He easily leads the conference from behind the dish in runner caught stealing percentage (40.9) in the SCAC.
A Pacific Coast League (PCL) All-Star for the Fresno Grizzlies this summer, Hoyt easily leads the league with 28 saves (nine more than the next-best player in the league). His 1.62 ERA is the second-best in the PCL among pitchers who have at least 50 innings of work.
He has a .315 BABIP when putting pitches in the strike zone into play, while having a .442 BABIP against pitches out of the strike zone. Even more interesting, despite the fact that Schoop has more production hitting pitches out of the strike zone than in the strike zone, he has a 6.3% chance of hitting a home run when hitting a pitch in the strike zone compared to a 4.4% chance of hitting a home run when the pitch is out of the strike zone. Likewise, he has an 8.5% chance of hitting a double when hitting a pitch in the strike zone and an 5.2% chance when the pitch is out of the strike zone. It seems that he has had extreme success hitting singles, but only singles, against pitches out of the strike zone as he has a 33.3% chance of hitting a single on a pitch out of the strike zone compared to a 21% chance when the pitch is in the strike
Zapata, who was recognized as SCAC Player of the Year on Friday, had a Championship Sunday to remember, going 4-for-9 with two home runs, a double, three runs scored and seven RBI’s. His only hit in game one was a home run to
he started playing football when he was a freshman in college but he was not a starter but he got enough time in to earn varsity letter . His high point of the season was in the Orange Bowl where in quarterback relief he completed eight of 12 passes for 93 yards and a touchdown.
He demonstrates great attentiveness to the game and builds his confidence by it. When Dickey was in search of self-awareness, he had little to no confidence in his pitches. He relied heavily on his knuckle ball, but he could not throw it with demand; resulting in him letting up a lot of runs and putting his career at jeopardy. Once Dickey turned to his Christian faith, he began to find his self-awareness that he was searching for and started to excel in his performance. Although he did well, he wanted to be the best, so he paid attention to the game as a whole and realized that ‘one is only good as their last inning’.
“I don’t try to hit home runs. That’s not my game,” Rivera, who leads the team with six home runs, said. “He just threw me a changeup up and I hit it.”
Reynolds struggles to hit the inside and low fastballs, so I would expect to see the Rebel pitching squad try and take advantage of that. His arm is above average at best as well, so the Rebels should be aggressive when rounding the bases and the ball is in his hand.

The Texas native didn't make his professional debut until 2010. He achieved moderate success before tearing his ulnar collateral ligament in 2012. The pitcher missed the rest of the year and majority of 2013 as well.
In game one, sophomore Cameron Guin led the Gents with three hits in as many at-bats with three RBI’s and three runs scored. He added a home run to right field in the fifth for his second round-tripper of his collegiate career.
But as important as Rizzo has been, nobody has been more important than the pitching staff of the Chicago Cubs. Their 3.42 earned run average puts them in the top five in Major League Baseball, where they also reside in the opposing batting average category. The staff has been led by Jake Arrieta, whose 13 wins and 2.38 ERA are elite numbers in both categories across the league.
He showed determination and character in his first major league at bat, driving a two-
Much of his minor league difficulties have centered on control issues. Too many free passes have lead to a balloon in his ERA. At times, he has used his mid-90s fastball to mow down hitters, while at other times he can’t seem to locate with consistency.
interviewed, Coach Zamorski said “the girls worked hard and bonded well all year”. Seniors Sam Salvador and Alaina Murphy were “a crucial part to our team.” Their batting helped them win close games and the leadership they brought gave an example to follow for all players.
