Batting Practice Banter - Will Bermudez

The Missoula PaddleHeads are in the midst of a 12 game homestand playing host to the Billings Mustangs over the weekend. Missoula has welcomed a lot of  new talent to the Garden City this season with rookies cutting their teeth into the professional baseball world. Players like Enzo Apodaca, and Mike Koszewski have fared well as rookies in the outfield. Another standout of this group has been Will Bermudez. 

The UC Irvine product has filled numerous roles having seen action at 3 different infield positions along with time spent in the outfield. Bermudez has fared exceptionally well as a versatile defender in any position. The switch hitter has also been outstanding at the plate leading the team in batting average (.349) and home runs (11). The former Ant Eater has also homered in each of his last 4 games going into Saturday.
