Who?
Garrett Wittels is his name, hitting is his game.
The Florida International sophomore infielder is working on a 54-game hitting streak which he'll look to extend in the NCAA tournament when the Golden Panthers take on Texas A&M on Friday.
Wittels amazing streak is just 4-games short of the national record held by Robin Ventura who hit in 58-consecutive games in 1987 for Oklahoma State. Venture has spoken with Wittels and gave him advice and encouragement and said he hopes the streak continues. Classy move by Ventura who is know for his streak, his 16-year Major League career and for 46-year old Nolan Ryan using his head as a speedbag in 1993.
Speaking of hitting streaks, I think it should be pointed out that I once had a 3-game hitting streak. It was pretty exciting.
