Rice baseball players scattered across the country for Summer Ball leagues. Here’s how each has performed as the season winds down.
Pitchers
While some of the ERAs were a tad high, it was evident several Rice baseball pitchers were able to make some progress on the mound this summer. The strikeout rates were high and several, most notably Jeremiah Arnett and Zach Fetchel, hovered around the 1.00 WHIP mark, which is no small feat.

Hitters
The bats were equally encouraging. A quartet of .400+ on base percentage players is notable, as were the eye-popping RBI totals from Michael Zito (who hit .400!) and Masa Chilcutt. Altogether it was an encouraging summer at the plate from this group, which should hopefully bode well for Rice baseball on the diamond next spring.
