Junior (2019)
- Lyle Lin has embraced his new role as the team’s designated hitter this season, just outside the Top-10 in the Pac-12 with 46 RBIs despite not quite being an every-day starter
- Lin’s 46 RBIs are an incredible tally considering the junior had just 18 RBIs total during the 2018 season, despite starting every game. He has multiple RBIs in 9 games.
- Lin was named a first team selection on the All-Pac-12 team.
Prior to the Cal series, Lin had a 10-game streak as good as any by a Sun Devil this season, batting .474 in that span with four doubles and four home runs with 10 RBIs. That .474 average was 140 points higher than any Sun Devil on the roster. - Over the final month of the season (15 games), Lin led the team with a .379 average and a .410 on-base percentage. He had five homers and 11 RBIs in that time while slugging .707.
- Of Lin’s 63 hits this season, 45 have come on EITHER the first pitch of an at-bat OR when battling from behind in the count. A contact hitter, Lin is second on the team in fewest strikeouts at 28 but has also walked a team-low 12 times.
- Lin is 14-for-19 this season in bringing runners from third home with less than two outs, a notable area of struggle for the junior was was just 2-for-12 in the category last season despite starting every game in the middle of the lineup. The 14 RBIs in that spot this year are three more than any other Sun Devil.
- Lin has advanced baserunners 68 times on 116 chances (.586) - the highest total on the team by average.
- His knack for getting the ball into play has paid its due, as he’s reached base a team-best 10 times on opponent errors this season - five more than any other Sun Devil. He has advanced a runner with an out 24 times - also good for the team lead.
- Lin became the first Sun Devil since 2014 to hit a grand slam with his round-tripper in the second game of the UC Davis series.
- Lin leads the team with nine games this season with three or more hits.
