Arizona State: The Good, The Bat and The Ugly
The following is No. 20 of a 20-part series reviewing the 2006 All-American Baseball League. Each feature will focus on one team. It will include the following sections: The Good (highlighting a team strength), The Bat (highlighting a hitting star) and the Ugly (lowlighting a team shortcoming). It will also include the team Most Valuable Player and a final hitting and pitching statistical report.
Arizona State Sun Devils
AABL West, 113-49, West Champions
The Good: The five-man starting rotation combined for 75 wins and posted a .714 winning percentage.
The Bat: Third baseman Bob Horner was third in Golden Spikes balloting. Horner batted .287 with 36 home runs and 131 RBIs.
The Ugly: After cruising to an AABL-best 113 regular season wins, the Sun Devils were swept in the College World Series by East pennant winner Ivy.
Team MVP: Bob Horner, Third Base (shown below). The All-Star was third in RBIs (131), fifth in total bases (302), sixth in both home runs (36) and runs scored (91), eighth in slugging (.515) and 10th in batting (.287)--despite sitting out nearly the last two weeks of the season in preparation for the College World Series.
