HERO OF THE YEAR
Alex Wojciechowski, 1B, BR-69 Minnesota Duluth
Could we possibly see Alex Wojciechowski in the Big Show in a few years? If this senior from Coon Rapids, Minnesota can burn through minor league pitching the way he tore through the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference, then the answer would be a resounding yes. Wojciechowski led the nation in home runs (33), RBIs (101) and slugging percentage (.973) while finishing among the top ten hitters in the nation (.442, 10th) and boasting a .506 on-base percentage.
It wouldn’t be too much of a stretch to see Wojciechowski one day donning the red, white and blue uniform of his hometown Minnesota Twins, a franchise with a history of drafting stars from the Land of 10,000 Lakes (see: Kent Hrbek, Joe Mauer).
