There’s a reason Patrick Bailey is considered a top prospect for the 2020 MLB Draft. He’s fundamentally sound, both with the bat and behind the dish. He’s a switch-hitting catcher who can hit for power and average from both sides. And - oh yeah - he’s clutch.
After NC State had given away a 5-0 lead and allowed Iowa to climb back to tie the game in the top of the 7th, Bailey put the team on his back and all but single-handedly won the game for the Pack from there, blasting a home run in each of the 7th and 8th innings to will the Wolfpack to a win.
