UNIVERSITY PARK — The State College Spikes feature an egalitarian situation at catcher. Miguel Mendez and Craig Parry entered Tuesday’s series opener against Aberdeen with identical statistics in three key categories.
Through 45 games, both catchers were batting .182 with 12 hits in 66 at-bats.
The numbers stunned manager Gary Robinson, who learned of the matching statistics after batting practice.
“It’s the best developmental process that I know,” he
said. “Nobody in the organization has put any pressure on me to make one of them a No. 1 and one of them a No. 2. The dictate I have from the organization is to make sure they are getting their playing time and to make sure they are getting their at-bats.”
