If ASU baseball is going to reach new heights in its first year under new head coach Willie Bloomquist, sophomore infielder Hunter Haas will surely be a vital cog in the wheel. As a freshman this past season, Haas started nearly every game in the hot corner and consistently batting in the middle of one of the conference’s best lineups.
The Phoenix native batted .304 while posting a .773 OPS. His 15 doubles were just three behind team leader Sean McLain. During his freshman campaign, he totaled just two home runs, one of which was an inside-the-parker. An offseason of weight training will turn a few of his deep doubles into round trippers.
