As the 2018 Lipscomb baseball season approaches, two Bisons have been named to the ASUN Baseball Preseason All-Conference Team.
Upperclassmen Zeke Dodson and Jake Perry were named to the ASUN Preseason All-Conference team. Third basemen Dodson was voted to the All-ASUN Second Team last year. He led the team in batting average last season, batting .309.
Perry smashed 7 home runs last year as a designated hitter.
“We are always excited when our players are recognized,” coach Jeff Forehand said about the preseason award. “We are excited about what we’re going to do as a team and they will be a big part of that.”
Lipscomb starts its season at home against UNC Ashville on Feb. 16.
“We all are looking forward to Feb. 16,” Forehand said. ASUN coaches picked the Bisons to finish sixth in the conference.
Forehand said his goals this year are the same.
“First pitch strikes, first batter outs, and make the routine plays on defense, on offense [we are focused] on on-base percentage, moving runners over and situational hitting.”
“If we can concentrate on what we can control the opponent doesn’t matter.”
