UC Baseball Player Ian Happ Has Bright Future in Major League Baseball

Bearcats junior Ian Happ is the 16th best overall prospect for the 2015 MLB draft according to MLB.com.

Happ is an outfielder. He recorded a .322 batting average in both 2013 and 2014 with 66 and 55 hits. In 2014, he led the team with both a .497 slugging percentage and a .443 on-base percentage. He also tied for the team lead with five homeruns, and produced a team-high 32 walks and 19 stolen bases.

He was named to the Golden Spikes Award watch list last year as a sophomore and twice named as a Cape Cod League All-Star. He was named first team All-American Athletic Conference in 2014.

We hope the best for this fellow Bearcat! Maybe he can be the next Kevin Youkilis?
