Purdue shortstop Mitch Hilligoss, who grew up on a farm in downstate Illinois, has been near the top of the Big Ten in hitting for two seasons.
With a runner on first against Michigan, Hilligoss tells the second baseman what pitch the pitcher is going to throw.
Not known as a power hitter, Hilligoss still hit four home runs last season.
Hilligoss throws right-handed, but he hits left-handed.
Hilligoss stole 25 bases for Purdue last year, a sophomore record for the Boilers.
Possessing a strong arm, Hilligoss may be moved to the outfield if he opts for professional ball after this season.
A Michigan player beats the throw back to second base on a pickoff attempt earlier this season.
Although he’s the team’s best hitter, Hilligoss is equally adept at the sacrifice bunt.
Hilligoss was named All-Big Ten Conference first team shortstop last year.
