UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - The Mason Nadeau effect has been a prevalent force for Penn State in 2017.
In limited playing time Nadeau, has been one of the most consistent hitters in the Nittany Lions lineup. He owns a team-best .357 batting average and has scored 11 runs in 18 games played while striking out just seven times in 56 at-bats.
Nadeau has recorded at least one hit in every game but two, since going hitless in the team's opening three-game series against TCU. He has six multi-hit games this season.
Nadeau suffered an injury in late March that kept him out of the lineup for 21 games, and Penn State struggled without him.
