Alcorn State's Sophomore Shortstop with Elite Summer OPS and Team-Leading Batting Average
Asher Friedman, a 6'0", 185-lb sophomore shortstop from Rockville, MD, is Alcorn State's most consistent offensive force, having led the Braves with a .327 batting average and a .440 on-base percentage in his first season while earning 2x MVP and First Team honors [1][2]. His differentiator is elite summer performance in the Coastal Collegiate Baseball League, where he posted a .412 AVG and a massive 1.200 OPS with 4 HR and 20 RBI, signaling a power surge beyond his college stats [7]. As a right-handed batter and thrower with a Jewish Baseball News ranking as the #34 shortstop nationally, Friedman brings high-intensity play, proven leadership, and 2 years of eligibility remaining, making him a high-upside fit for teams needing a reliable, intense infielder with immediate offensive impact [2][4][7].
