Scott Lyman may have been the UC Davis baseball team’s most valuable player.
The sophomore from Alamo, Calif. was both one of the team’s best hitters and pitchers.
At the plate, Lyman was stellar with a .356 batting average, .388 on base percentage, .525 slugging percentage, 40 RBI, 39 runs scored, and five homeruns.
On the mound, Lyman was streaky, but finished the year with 61 strikeouts in 80.1 innings pitched.
The fact remains, as both an everyday hitter and a weekend starter, Lyman affected the outcome of UC Davis’ season more than any other single player.
In recognition of his production from such a pivotal role, Lyman was named a Big West Conference honorable mention for the 2010 season.
