For a freshman to jump from backup to starter within a year is an impressive feat on its own, but to do so while also changing positions is even more applaudable.
Jerry Huntzinger saw the field nine times for the Seton Hall baseball team last season and featured heavily as the team’s back-up catcher. He hit .111 in nine at bats and managed just four RBIs in 2018, but those statistics would have never foreseen the efficiency and involvement he is showcasing on a regular basis this season.
He has featured in all 19 of Seton Hall games so far this season, starting 15 of them at right field rather than his natural position at catcher.
