 EUGENE, OR- After a slow start and a level change, 2016 Trinity Christian alum Edmond Americaan has come on strong in August with the Eugene Emeralds. The 22-year old outfielder has raised his batting average to .267 as he looks to rise through the ranks of the Chicago Cubs farm system.
Playing in the single A Northwest League, Americaan struggled out of the gate hitting .182 in June. As the weather has heated up, so has Americaan however. He's hitting .315 since the second half began and has an OPS of .771. He has done the majority of his damage in the second spot in the lineup after starting out in the lead off slot. He's also played an outstanding outfield, committing just three errors in 46 games while piling up five assists. Americaan led Trinity to the 2016 state championship, hitting .422 while earning all-county and district honors. You can follow Americaan's career here. |
