Happy Birthday - 11/22

OF Drew Muren (23)
Drafted in the 22nd round in 2011 out of Cal State Northridge, Muren put up a respectable  .257/.376/.324/.700 batting line for Tri-City.  But in looking at the numbers more closely, Muren got stronger as the season went on, hitting .237 Pre All-Star and .327 Post All-Star.  And this lefty hitter not only held his own, but actually hit better (.300) against LHP's than against RHP's (.241).
