2015
Named to the MIAA Academic honor roll ... appeared in 41 games, making 40 starts ... hit .258 on the year ... tallied 39 hits with four doubles, three triples and a homerun ... had 52 total bases, 23 runs scored and 21 RBI ... stole 10 bases and drew 14 walks ... had 11 multi-hit games ... had five multi-RBI games ... went 4-for-5 with an RBI and arun scored against Emporia State (Apr. 12) ... drove in four runs agianst Quincy (March 17), going 3-for-5 with two runs scored and a homerun.
It is a big accomplish to bat 3rd in the line-up and start in left field in your first year in the MIAA. Kolby Greenslade accomplished that feat for Northwest Missouri State University. Despite battling a few injuries in 2015, Kolby went on to produce at the plate, defensively, and on the base paths. In total, Kolby was 5th on the team in slugging percentage, 5th in runs batted in, 5th in hits, 1st in triples, 5th in walks, 5th in total bases, 3rd in sacrifice flies, 1st in stolen bases, 2nd in stolen base percentage, 3rd in steal attempts, 4th in multi-hit games, and 4th in multi-RBI games.
A few thoughts on Kolby - hard worker, quiet, driven, and a team guy. Kolby works very hard to transform his talent into baseball skill. Mature kid. He is great with the youngsters at the Bearcat games. The B2R cannot wait to see what Kolby can do healthy and a year stronger. Kolby's bat showed pop in 2015. I cannot wait to see what a healthy and strong back, core, and legs will do for his power. High baseball IQ. Kolby is effectively ornery on the base paths. Coach Loe has a great problem where best to put Kolby in the line-up because his speed and threat to steal will force opponents to groove fastballs to the batter to defend against him. Kolby is not the most outspoken player in the dugout. He lets his play do the talking. As an old-school baseball fan, the B2R digs that. Expect great things from Kolby Greenslade in 2016.
Go Cats!!
