In the last week, St. Louis Cardinals rookie outfielder Jeremy Hazelbaker has made his first Major League start, hit his first career home run and stole his first career base.
The Muncie native and Wapahani High School graduate is 10-19 at the plate so far this year with five runs scored, five RBIs, two doubles, a triple, two home runs and two stolen bases. He was originally placed on the Opening Day Roster after a pair of injuries to other players, but has started four of St. Louis' seven games.
Ball State head coach Rich Maloney said Hazelbaker's accomplishment was "a big moment" for the program.
