This is the first installment of a new weekly series where I will feature one position player and one pitcher in college. It may be that they had a good week or are having a good season up to that point.
Junior outfielder Michael Burruss of Georgia Southern started the season off strong in a three game series against University of Tennessee at Martin. He had seven hit in 14 at bats that included two home runs and two doubles to go along with one walk. His line to start the season shows he is hitting .500/.533/.1.071 with two home runs, eight RBI, six runs and zero steals in three games. In his Sophomore season in 2011 he hit .300/.330/.410 with three home runs, 46 RBI, 51 runs and 9 steals in 62 games. The Georgia Southern line up also features Eric Phillips and Victor Roache and the trio should help spark the team and each other all season.
Junior RHP Joey Wagman of Cal Poly had an impressive outing against Oklahoma State. He pitched a scoreless eight innings and allowed only two hits and had no walks while facing 27 batters total. He starts the year 1-0 with a 0.00 ERA, five strikeouts and 0.25 WHIP in 8 innings. As a Sophomore in 2011 he was 4-3 with a 3.62 ERA, 52 strikeouts and 1.10 WHIP in 64.2 innings over 17 games. Considering the traditional power Wagman started off against it will be interesting to follow his progress the rest of the season.
