Ben Aklinski who was in infielder for Lexington Legends in 2021 is now on the roster for High Point Rockers. This is a big deal! With a batting average of .290 and having 28 Home Runs and 105 RBI's this is a steal!
“Ben had a heckuva year last season,” said Rockers manager Jamie Keefe. “When you hit 28 homers and drive in 105 runs, that’s getting it done. Ben is a freak athlete who has the ability to play multiple positions. Offensively, he hit at the top of the line-up and was a real catalyst for that club. Between scoring 105 runs and driving in another 105 runs, Ben generated over 200 runs last year. If he can do that for us, he could be an MVP candidate at the end of the year.”
We will get a chance to see Ben in action on April 21st when ironically The Rockers will be playing against Lexington! How will the Wild Health Genomes react to their former best player being on The Rockers Roster?
