For the past two weeks, the hitter I have been enamored with watching the most — after Ian Happ, anyway — is South Bend’s Matt Rose. Rose is a 6’5″ 195 lb. first/third baseman for the South Bend Cubs. He bats right, throws right, and was an 11th round pick in the 2015 MLB draft out of Georgia State by the Cubs. He arrived from Eugene on August 6 and is hitting .324, as of Friday the 21st, with one home run and 8 RBI in 10 games. Previously, at Eugene, he hit .254 with three home runs and 27 RBIs in 31 games.
