Through 22 games this season, Beloit’s Lance Lundine was batting .333 with four extra base hits and 20 runs driven in.
What does Lundine attribute his success to?
“I wanted to continue to working on my hitting and building confidence in the box,” Lundine said. “I feel like the hitting camps and going to the Wichita State camps helped build my confidence in the box.”
Lundine is a three-sport athlete for the Trojans, so finding time to specifically work on baseball is difficult. But he thinks playing other sports is also beneficial to baseball.
“I was busy with cross country, and basketball, so I didn’t have much of a chance to do a lot of specialized baseball workouts,” Lundine said. “But I feel my other two sports helped me with stay in shape, and could use them to help with my baseball.”
Beloit’s season started off kind of rocky when three seniors decided not to play baseball this season, but thanks to Lundine and other underclassmen, the Trojans have had some impressive wins.
“The most exciting part of the season was being able to keep getting wins and knocking off the No. 2 team in 4A,” Lundine said. “Even when three of our seniors decided not to play this season, and another senior got injured the first game, we had to have underclassmen and freshmen step in to fill these positions.”
