Berry continues to cling to .400 batting average for the Arizona Wildcats

 Arizona Wildcats Baseball




The 2021 Arizona Wildcats have a legitimate .400 hitter.

After 45 games, the 7th-ranked Arizona Wildcats are batting at a .329 clip and their top hitter, Jacob Berry, continues his season-long attack on opposing pitching with a .401 average. Berry has officially stepped to the plate 167 times and has hit safely 67 times -- including 13 doubles, five triples, 11 home runs and 53 RBI.  His 123 total bases and slugging percentage of .737 leads the Wildcats.

And a few of his teammates are right there with him as the Wildcats maintain their lofty batting average.

The Wildcats won 1 of 3 games at Stanford over the weekend ( 4-5, 20-2, 2-8) and head into this week's action with an overall record off 32-13 and a Pac-12 Conference slate of 16-8. Arizona hosts Washington at Hi Corbett Field on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Catcher Daniel Susac is tied for the RBI lead with Berry (53) and leads the team in home runs with 12 and is batting .359 on the season, while two teammates are just above him -- Kobe Kato and Brand\en Boissiere. Kato is batting .377 (60 for 159), while Boissiere is tied with Berry in hits (67 for 179) and owns a .374 average.

Chase Silseth continues to lead in the Wildcats in innings pitched at 69.1 with 71 strike outs and a 7-1 record.

Way to go, Wildcats! Go get the Huskies!
