    Hoosiers in the MLB: All-Star Break Update

    The Major League Baseball season has hit the All-Star break, and with that, we take a look at how former Indiana University baseball players are producing at the highest levels of the game.

    Below we take a look at the former IU stars that have registered statistics at the MLB or Triple-A levels during the 2019 season.

    FORMER HOOSIERS COMPILING MLB STATS IN 2019

    Alex Dickerson
    Positions: Outfield

    Team:  San Francisco Giants

    AB – 66
    R – 12
    H – 20
    BA – .303
    HR – 4
    RBI – 17
    SB – 1
    OBP – .370
    SLG – .606

    2019 is a feel good story so far for Dickerson.  He missed the entire 2017 and 2018 seasons with two separate injuries.  And things didn’t start off well in 2019 either.  After being sent down to the minors with San Diego, a mid-season trade to the Giants started an apparent career revival for Dickerson.  You can read more about his sudden success in San Francisco here.

    Josh Phegley
    Position: Catcher

    Team:  Oakland A’s

    AB – 209
    R – 31
    H – 52
    BA – .249
    HR – 9
    RBI – 42
    SB – 0
    OBP – .292
    SLG – .445

    Dickerson isn’t the only former Hoosier whose career has received a major boost in 2019.  Phegley has capitalized on injuries in Oakland to produce the best numbers of his career from the plate.  With A’s catchers Nick Hundley and Chris Herrmann returning to health, it should be an interesting second half for Phegley.  Whatever happens, the 31-year old Terre Haute native has helped his cause with a strong first half.

    Kyle Schwarber
    Position: Outfielder

    Team:  Chicago Cubs

    AB – 304
    R – 45
    H – 69
    BA – .227
    HR – 18
    RBI – 43
    SB – 1
    OBP – .320
    SLG – .457

    Schwarber is on pace for career best numbers in several categories including home runs, runs batted in, runs and hits.  While he hasn’t yet become a guy that hits for a good average at the plate, the healthy and still just 26 year old Schwarber’s career appears to be heading in the right direction.

    Sam Travis
    Positions: First Baseman and Designated Hitter

    Team:  Boston Red Sox

    AB – 31
    R – 1
    H – 6
    BA – .194
    HR – 0
    RBI – 2
    SB – 0
    OBP – .194
    SLG – .194

    Travis has had a couple brief stints in the majors this year — one to open the season and one in June.  In his last appearance on June 30 against the Yankees, Travis went 2-for-4 and drove in a run at Fenway Park.  At AAA Pawtucket, Travis is hitting .267 with five homers and 30 runs batted in.

    HOOSIERS IN TRIPLE-A

    There are a few other former Hoosiers that have gotten to the highest level of the minors — and one step away from the big leagues..  The following former IU stars have registered Triple-A stats during 2019.

    • Caleb Baragar (P) – Sacramento (San Francisco).  Double-A All-Star.
    • Kyle Hart (P) – Pawtucket (Boston)
    • Aaron Slegers (P) – Durham (Tampa Bay)
