Faced with the daunting task of replacing a legend in Jacob Wilson last season, @Emilio_Barreras quietly turned in an outstanding campaign for @GCU_Baseball. The shortstop hit .316 over 56 starts, making just 12 errors and posting 8.83 DRS along the way.

Barreras ➡️ Buries ➡️ Yorke! Lopes turn two and are out of the 8th with a 3-run lead. #LopesUp

A one-out double from @Emilio_Barreras! He's 3 for 4 to begin his college career.
