Florida Gators third baseman Austin Maddox was named the SEC Freshman of the Week today after killing the Kentucky Wildcats over the past few games. We don't talk a lot of baseball on this site, but it's very important to note just how good Austin Maddox is. This guy is something special.
From GatorZone:
<blockquote>
Maddox hit .538 (7-for-13) over the three games, homered in each outing and boasted a slugging percentage of 1.462. He also paced the squad in RBI (five) and runs (five) versus the Wildcats and six of his seven hits on the weekend went for extra-bases, as he had three dingers and three doubles.</blockquote>
Maddox has been dominant all season. He leads Florida in batting average (.369), RBI (42), multiple-hit games (17), doubles (13), multiple-RBI games (12) and slugging percentage (.698) and is the team leader in SEC play with a .369 clip, 21 RBI and eight round-trippers.
I don't know what he'll do after the college baseball season, but you can guarantee he'll have a fat MLB contract waiting for him this summer. He was drafted by the Rays out of high school in the 37th round and there's no doubt he's improved on that. He could be a first round draft pick now at 6'3" 230 lbs.
