Puget Sound Collegiate League leaders: Hitting
The Puget Sound Collegiate League baseball season is coming down to the wire with just three regular season games left. So let’s take a look at the league leaders. First, the hitters.
The most impressive line this season belongs to Olympia High School and Green River Community College’s Chris Womac of the West Olympia Linx. Womac is tied for third with 24 hits and third in singles with 20, second in walks with 19 and leads the league in on base percentage (.536), OPS (1.031) and batting average (.387). He also leads the league with 14 stolen bases and is tied for first with 17 runs scored.
Saint martin’s Chandler Tracy is continuing his outstanding end to the Saints season in the PSCL. Tracy, a member of the Hawks Prairie Cardinals, is tied for third in hits (24), second in triples (3), first in RBI (16), third in runs scored, fifth in OBP (.427), first in slugging (.536) second in OPS (.963) and second in batting average (.348).
And it’s hard to look past the seasons of Kyle Thomson, Devin Ferguson, Naoki Imoto and may others.
Tomorrow, we’ll look at the pitching leaders…
