Senior Garrett Kocis was off to the best season of his career. Kocis had hit a career-high 12 home runs and led WSU in OPS through 25 games of the 2021 season. Then a broken wrist sidelined him during his breakout season.
Kocis made his return to the Shocker lineup after missing a month of action, despite not being 100%.
“It feels awesome,” Kocis said. “Injuries kind of teach you how to enjoy the moment and just take it one day at a time and just be grateful to be able to put this uniform on our chest.
