Barons’ favorite, Jarred Frierson, is in his fourth and final season with the UNLV Rebels’ program. He made the move to the outfield after spending the majority of his time in the infield. A very dangerous switch hitter with great pop from both sides of the plate.
In the 2009 season, Jarred played in 51 games, making 49 starts. He was the starting 3rd baseman for 34 of those games. He was 6th on the team with a .340 batting average. Had career highs in multiple categories; 65 hits, four homeruns, four triples and seven doubles, he also drove in 35 runs and scored 35 times. He posted 20 multiple-hit games, including seven with three or more hits. Matched his career high with fours hits in 5 trips to the plate at New Mexico on May 3rd.
Expectations were high his senior year and Jarred has not disappointed. He is currently 6th in batting average with a .337 average in 45 game starts. Season highs in 6 categories, including runs scored (41), doubles (8), triples (6), HRs (6), RBIs (43) and OB % (.540). He ranks in the top 5 in every offensive category for the Rebels.
Highlights of this season include:
Jarred Frierson drilled three home runs, including an important two-run shot in the bottom of the eighth to outscored Sacramento State 18-13 in the early part of the season. The trio of home runs by Frierson marked the 16th time in school history that a player hit three home runs in a single game, and it was the first time that happened since Xavier Scruggs hit three against San Diego State on April 18, 2008. Frierson matched his career high with four RBI and also scored three times.
Another multi-homerun (2) performance by Jarred was in a recent showdown between the visiting Cougars from BYU, the Rebels couldn't complete the sweep, falling to the Cougars 16-7.
