Buster Posey Watch List

This season, Osborn is hitting .240 in seven starts, but has missed the last few games due to injury. His best game of the season came against Tulane, going 4-for-6 with a double, home run and four RBI during opening weekend.
Good Company
Ben Fitzgerald continues to swing the bat well for Louisiana. The Mason City, Iowa, native is just one of three players in the conference to have a batting average over .320, on-base percentage over .450 and slugging over .570, minimum 40 at-bats. The three players who qualify for this are Fitzgerald, Justin Thompson (Texas State) and Mason McWhorter (Georgia Southern).
