HOOVER, Ala. — All-SEC teams were announced earlier today, and relief pitcher Wyatt Short was the Rebels’ lone selection, a second-team choice.
I thought Sikes Orvis’ power numbers might get him on one of the teams. They’re actually a touch better than they were last year when he was first team, and he was a preseason choice this season.
Orivs has had a monster May, and the fact that he wasn’t quite as consistent earlier in the season may have played a part in voting. After batting practice today he talked about that and many other topics — including his passion for the team hotel and the difficulty of hitting long balls at the Hoover Met — in this clip.
