Diaz Named to the D3Baseball.com Team of the Week

FAIRBANKS, Alaska – A day after the FDU-Florham baseball team boasted its third consecutive MAC Freedom baseball Player of the Week, D3baseball.com announced its Team of the Week and sophomore Xavier Diaz earned a spot on the weekly roster following Eddie Appollina's appearance a week ago, the outlet announced Wednesday afternoon.
 
Diaz, a Wanaque, N.J. native, had a monster week for the Devils as the sophomore outfielder went an astonishing 11-for-18 with one double, two triples, four RBI, and six runs scored. He amassed 16 total bases through the five games for FDU without recording a strikeout and getting hit by a pitch four times. 
 
Diaz finished the week batting .611 with a .682 OBP and an .889 SLG for a 1.571 OPS. He recorded four multi-hit games including back-to-back three hit games with a 3-for-5 performance against Ramapo on March 4 and a 3-for-3 performance against Rutgers-Newark on March 5. 
 
The outfielder is currently riding a nine-game hitting streak. Through FDU's first 11 games, Diaz leads the MAC Freedom in OBP (.614), SLG (.833), and OPS (1.447) and is second in average at .528.
