Rice Baseball 2024: MLB Owls Update – Apr 17

April 17, 2024 By Matthew Bartlett

The 2024 MLB season is underway and Rice baseball alums are busy on the mound and at the plate. Here’s the latest from the MLB Owls.

Anthony Rendon – Los Angeles Angels

After a slow start to the season, Rendon has heated up significantly over the past two weeks. In fact, no player in baseball had a better week than he did last week. Rendon recorded multi-hit games five times in six tries including two three-hit games to bookend the week. That snapped a cold spell with an emphatic crack of the bat.

Since April 8th, Anthony Rendon (.480 AVG) leads the MLB in average of players who have 20+ PA's since 4/8/24

Rendon has a 4 game mutlihit streak & has recorded multihit games in 5 of his last 6
