Argo: speediest in the Big Ten?
College Baseball Insider asked the Big Ten Baseball coaches their opinions on a variety of baseball topics. Nine of them responded and CBI put them together for their Big Ten baseball preview.
The team to beat? It was unanimous for Minnesota. A lot of things can happen from now till conference season but it looks like the Golden Gophers have a solid core especially if every coach can agree on it.
There were a couple of Illini players that showed up in the CBI Big Ten Baseball preview.
The best base-runner is: Willie Argo, Illinois
The best outfield arm is: Pete Cappetta, Illinois
Argo also showed up in the list of the “three best pure hitters” along with two of Indiana’s offensive threats, Alex Dickerson and Jerrod Sabourin. Certainly good company to be in and I would definitely agree with the label “pure hitter” when applied to Willie.
Congrats to Willie and Pete!
