In 25.2 innings pitched he fanned 22 opposing batters while limiting hitters to just a .231 batting average. Sybrant's senior season saw him start in 39-of-40 games played, clubbing 11 doubles and driving in 27 RBIs to go alongside an on-base percentage of .412.Â
Dagostino exploded offensively this season, hitting a career-high .391 batting average. Starting in 38-of-40 games, he clubbed 13 doubles, a trio of triples and a home run for 33 RBIs. He ranked third among starters in slugging percentage (.536) and added nine stolen bases. Additionally, he ended the season with a 25-game hitting streak. Lottman also displayed his best season, securing 35 hits in 117 trips for a .299 batting average.
