With the 2016 baseball season opening on Friday, TroyTrojans.com will take a position-by-position look at this year's team over the next four days.
LEFT FIELD
Reid Long holds down the left field position. The returning starter played 48 games as a true freshman and was named Louisville Slugger Freshman All-American. The Marianna, Fla., native hit .275 last season with nine doubles, six triples and eight home runs. He also scored 35 runs and drove in 30. Long is a very athletic and explosive player who can change the game with his glove on or with the bat in his hand.
