Around the Bases with Jesse Wierzbicki
Posted Apr 2, 2010
Jesse Wierzbicki, North Carolina's starting catcher, is leading the team in batting average (.362), home runs (6), runs batted in (30) and slugging percentage (.617). Inside Carolina caught up with Wierzbicki this week. To what do you attribute your great start with the bat this season? "I am just trying to go up there every time and hit the ball hard. If the hits fall, they fall - if they don't, they don't."
