Padres Top Hitter for the Month of April: Nick Hundley
Nick started off the season as the Padres hottest hitter and kept it rolling through the month of April. With a line of .274/.357/.474 Hundley was in the near the top in every offensive category for the Padres.
Highlights
- Hits – 23 ( Maybin led with 24)
- Runs – 11 (Maybin/Ludwick 12)
- RBI – 12 (Tied with Ludwick 12)
- Total Bases – 38 (Maybin 42)
- Eight of his 23 hits went for extra bases.
Hundley put up great numbers for only 84 at bats. He is taking advantage of his opportunity to be the lead man behind the plate. If a few others can get hot this offense could put together a strong May.
