LEXINGTON, Ky. — Kentucky sophomore two-way standout J.T. Riddle finished his summer in the Great Lakes Summer Collegiate League on a tear, earning first-team All-GLSCL accolades, it was announced on Monday afternoon.
A native of Frankfort, Ky., Riddle dominated the Great Lakes Summer Collegiate League throughout the summer for the Lexington Hustlers and on Monday the league named him the first-team member of the All-GLSCL team, as a utility player.
Riddle’s numbers during the summer were staggering, batting .343 (37-for-108) in 32 games, with 10 doubles, two triples, three homers and 17 RBI. Riddle posted a 19-13 walk-strikeout ratio, stealing two bases while playing mainly shortstop. On the mound, Riddle posted a 3-1 record and a 2.79 ERA in eight games and three starts, posting one save. In 19.1 innings this summer, Riddle allowed only seven walks and 15 hits, striking out 14.
A 6-foot-3, 180-pound left-handed hitter, Riddle’s best game came in his finale with the Hustlers, earning the start on the mound and as the designated hitter. The 2010 Kentucky High School Mr. Baseball went six innings, allowing only three hits and two runs, striking out three for the win. At the plate, Riddle belted his third homer of the summer, finishing just shy of claiming the league batting title.
Named a GLSCL All-Star, Riddle earned the starting assignment at shortstop, playing in the contest which was held at Great American Ballpark in Cincinnati, home of the Reds.
