Chiefs Add NE-10 Player of the Year & Second Team All-American Mike Baillargeon
Medford, MA- The Chiefs have announced the addition of former Assumption College infielder and 2009 Northeast-10 Conference Player of the Year Mike Baillargeon.
Baillargeon is expected to add some much needed offensive power to the lineup. The Chiefs are hitting only .236 as a team through the first six games of the season. They were shutout on just two hits on Friday night while dropping their first game of the summer.
A native of Worcester, Baillargeon just capped off a great four year career with the Greyhounds being named to the Rawlings/American Baseball Coaches Association NCAA Division II All American second team.
The three year team captain was named to the National College Baseball Writers of America all-America team. He was also named a first-team performer by the Northeast-10 Conference, ECAC Division II, NCBWA East Regional and ABCA East Regional coaches and the sports information directors on the Daktronics all-East team, Daktronics all-East Regional, National College Baseball Writers Association East Region and the ABCA East Region team.Baillargeon batted a lofty .393 this past season with a team-record 84 hits and also led Assumption in runs (56), singles (57), home runs (11), stolen bases (12), bases on balls (27) and total bases (136).
He set career marks in games (187), games started (187), at bats (731), hits (267), triples (15, tied), sacrifice flies (11) and was only caught stealing ten times in fifty three attempts during his college career.
Baillargeon is expected to join the Chiefs on Sunday when they travel to Walsh Field in Wakefield to begin a three game road trip in a rare 3:00 PM start. - Bruce Tillman
