At Rice
2020: Conference USA Academic Honor Roll; One of three Owls to start all 16 games, including 15 times at second base and once in centerfield… Was hitting .298 through the first 14 games of the year, only to see it dip to .262 in the final two games against ranked opponents Texas Tech and Texas A&M when the collegiate season came to an unexpected halt… Hit .324 with runners on base, .304 with men in scoring position and .360 with two outs in the inning… Reached base at a .400 pace when leading off an inning… Had a stretch of reaching base in six-straight games… Tied for second on the team in RBI (7), runs scored (7), and walks (7), and was third in base hits (17)… Shared the team lead with six multi-hit games, including two three-hit games vs. Texas Tech and Houston… Maintained a .973 fielding percentage at second base in 75 total chances, and turned or started eight of the team’s 16 double plays.
2019: All-Silver Glove Series; Led the team in batting average (.308) and was one of only two Owls to start all 59 games – all while playing in his first Division I season in three years… All 59 starts were at second base, where he ended up playing 526.1 of the team’s 529.1 innings in the field (99.4 percent)… Led the Owls, and tied for fourth among the Conference USA league leaders, with five sac flies… Shared the team lead, and tied for ninth in C-USA, with 16 doubles… Also shared the team lead with six steals… Hit four triples to place second on the squad, tie for third in the league and tie for 67th among the NCAA leaders (as of the Owls’ final game in late May)… Placed third on the squad in hits (68), RBI (38) and slugging (.498)... Was a distant fifth on the team in hitting 14 games into the schedule (.288), then moved up to fourth at the midpoint of the season before closing out year with the Owls’ highest average (.308)… Hit an identical .308 when batting with the bases loaded (4-of-13), the second-most at bats on the squad in those situations… Batted .342 (25-of-73) in the pressure at bats of having two outs already recorded in the inning… Recorded 19 at bats with a teammate on third base and less than two outs, and drove-in the runner 10 times (.526)… Hit safely in seven-straight games and reached base in 10-consecutive games during one stretch… Collected two or more hits in a game 19 times, including a career-high three hits in a game six different times... Went 2-for-3 with a home run, a double, a sac fly and two RBI a single game against C-USA foe Middle Tennessee… Tallied two or more RBI in a game 11 different times (second-highest on the team), highlighted by four games with three RBI... Usually batted fifth or sixth in the order (36 times)… Reached base at a .318 pace (14-of-44) when leading off an inning... Proved to be a steady fielder and played just one defensive inning at another position (shortstop vs. Arizona)… Twice made a career-high seven put outs in a single game (vs. C-USA foes UTSA and FIU)… Recorded a career-best six defensive assists vs. Lamar...
