The averages dropped almost across the board from the first time I did this, which maybe isn’t a surprise. They say freshmen always hit a wall in their first college season, so I’m sure they hit a wall in the summer, too. Figueroa was at the top but has seen his average dip lately. Even Ochinko, the new leader, was at .333 last time. Wong and Seastrunk were both late arrivals after the College World Series, but Wong, in particular, has caught up quickly.
Interesting that the top three on this list are all from Y-D. If that trio makes its way back next summer, Y-D will look good once again.
