Alex Destino set a school record for walks and a career low for swings in South Carolina’s 10-7 win over Liberty on Wednesday.
The junior walked in all five of his plate appearances and swung the bat only one time while scoring two runs in the critical win.
The game was an example of how much Destino’s plate approach has improved since being benched for the Kentucky series. Since returning to the lineup he has not chased pitches out of the strike zone, something he struggled with the first half of the year. When he has gotten a pitch to hit, he has not missed it.
