Being behind the plate requires sharp vision, skillful decision-making and tremendous fortitude. Whether Charlotte catcher senior Harris Yett is behind the plate or up to bat, he’s certainly capable of affecting the outcome of the game. Yett’s hitting is .343 and has started 43 games thus far. While the team’s record stands at a moderate 16-26-1, Yett has been well above average and a stand out contributor for the 49ers.
“I’m just trying to do more damage this season,” said Yett. “Last season, I hit for a good average but I didn’t hit as much [sic] extra base hits as I wanted to, and this season I’ve just been making it a big thing to try and do damage.
