Veteran Profile - Austin Wulff


Veteran Profile - Austin Wulff

Maryville, Mo. - Austin Wulff returns to Northwest Missouri State as a Junior after two successful years for the Bearcats.  Austin made an immediate splash for the Bearcats in 2014 where he quickly became an outfield starter in his first collegiate year in Maryville.  Austin stands 6'2" and weighs 190 pounds, is as strong as an Ox, and comes from Omaha, Nebraska.  Austin graduated from Millard West High School.  This information comes from the official site of Northwest Athletics, bearcatsports.com.

2015
Played in all 48 games, making 47 starts ... hit .290 on the year with 42 hits, 30 runs scored, 24 RBI, 13 doubles and four homeruns ... drew 32 walks and was hit by 12 pitches ... stole three bases ... had 10 multi-hit games and six multi-RBI games ... was 2-for-2 with five RBI, two runs scored, three walks a double and a homerun against Northeastern State (Feb. 20) ... was 2-for-3 with four RBI, a double and a homerun against Fort Hays State (March 20) ... was 4-for-4 with two runs scored and a walk against Emporia State (Apr. 12) ... was 4-for-5 with two doubles and a run scored against Missouri Western (Apr. 24) ... tallied five outfield assists and had a 96.9 fielding percentage.

2014
Played in 44 games … started in 43 of those games … recorded 42 hits, 32 RBI and 34 runs scored on the season … led the team with seven home runs … was tied for third on the team with 11 doubles … had a slugging percentage of .490.

Austin is a hard working kid who plays with an edge.  One of the B2R's favorites.  Skill + Edge + Team. Look for big things from Austin in 2016.  Austin has a fantastic arm, great range, and amazing baseball IQ.  Defensively, he takes great routes to balls and flies to make the catch.  It is pretty common to see Austin's jersey dirty within the first play or two.  The guy is all out all the time.  You can catch Austin and the rest of the Bearcats when they open their 2016 season on the road in Memphis on February 6, 2016.

Go Cats!!
