The Harrisonburg Turks moved into a new stadium in he summer of 2010, and ATVL was curious to see how the field played with wood bats. While ATVL has not run the numbers on park effects (yet), our #8 hitter, Shaun Cooper, had an excellent summer swinging the bat in the 'Burg.
Cooper, now a junior at Utah, hit 303/370/600, with 29 runs, 10 doubles, 13 home runs, 36 RBI, and a 15/41 BB/K ratio in 45 games and 165 at-bats. He finished tied for first in the league in home runs, 4th in total bases (with 99), tied for 7th in RBI, and tied for second in slugging percentage.
Shaun spent his freshman year at Pima Community College, where he hit .330 with a .421 on-base percentage, along with 17 doubles, 2 triples, 4 home runs, 44 RBI, and 19 stolen bases in 197 at-bats. He then transferred to Arizona, where he received only 80 at-bats as a sophomore. Cooper has transferred to Utah for his junior season.
Congratulations on the excellent season, Shaun!

Playing in the valley league was hands down the greatest experience I had playing baseball
