...four pitchers and 12 of its top 13 hitters. Mann, widely considered the second-best catcher in the league behind Lentz, should assume full-time duties behind the plate. Hordon will return, as will the strongest freshman class in recent memory—led by Zak Farkes, Lance Salsgiver, Klimkiewicz and Brunnig...
When it came to picking The Crimson’s male rookie of the year, we needed to look no further than the reason in the rhyme of the ancient Mariner-to-be. Congratulations, nucleus.

He simply battled through an early-season slump and recovered well enough to keep the Crimson in the league race, including knocking in all four Harvard runs in a backs-to-the-wall game two of the Ivy League championship series win that extended the season...
