ASU Baseball: How Hunter Bishop has followed Spencer Torkelson’s footsteps
Through 15 games, the production of ASU baseball’s Hunter Bishop has shaded Spencer Torkelson’s hitting spree from last season.
With two outs in the bottom of the third, Hunter Bishop was up to the plate in a 1-1 count against his former Brewster Whitecaps teammate, Conor Grammes.
The Xavier righty is known for his fastball – a pitch that could top out at 98 miles per hour.
With that in mind, Bishop took his his old Cape League companion yard on the very next pitch.
His three-run home run to the opposite field gave ASU its first lead of the game at 3-1. The bomb was Bishop’s eighth in a season that was only 15 games old.
