Wallner on the other hand has done more than any coach could ask of a freshman. He has blasted nine homeruns, which is good enough to lead the team as well as be 24th nationally. He’s also hitting .333 with a .667 slugging percentage with a .472 on-base percentage and 24 RBIs. Wallner, while being a star at the plate is 2-0 with a 2.08 ERA and three saves.
