Michael Busch Producing at the Plate

Posted Jun 12, 2018
Michael Busch has become UNC’s most productive bat, hitting .333 and driving in a team-best 63 RBI. He also leads the team in the critical on-base percentage statistic (.478), due in large part to a team-high 54 walks against 30 strikeouts. As good as those stats may be, the soft-spoken first baseman has been even more lethal in the NCAA Tournament. (Inside Carolina)
