CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Sam Haggerty has been the catalyst for the Lynchburg Hillcats for much of the year. The Hillcats have a 32-19 record when he bats leadoff, compared to an 8-10 mark when someone else does.
Haggerty, a Carolina League (High A) All-Star, is a second baseman. He has five hits and has scored four times in his last three games.
Haggerty is a 2015 24th-round selection out of New Mexico. He leads the league with 10 triples and 20 stolen bases. Haggerty has 29 extra-base hits.
Save the day: Argenis Angulo ranks second in the Carolina League with 10 saves, which represents the most for any Northern Division pitcher.
