Head coach John Anderson has a phrase he says about first-year players.
“Well, they say the best thing about freshmen is when they become sophomores,” he said.
Anderson used the phrase to describe sophomore designated hitter, outfielder and pitcher Matt Fiedler, but the player might already be showing his best game.
Fiedler leads the Gophers with a .396 batting average after 12 games. He’s third on the team in ERA at 2.25.
