Senior Jordan Post is the first person to admit that he isn’t the most athletically gifted baseball player in the world.

“I have the body of a 50-year-old,” the first baseman often jokes with his teammates.

His athletic limitations haven’t stopped Post from becoming one of the most successful hitters in Pacific Lutheran University baseball history.

The lefty broke PLU’s career RBI record (117) and walks (106) this season and is a leader in career hits, runs, batting average, at bats, doubles and homeruns.

Post said the secret to his success is being able to take each at-bat separately, a principle taught to him by head coach Geoff Loomis.

“[I make sure] I’m not thinking about that last at bat,” Post said.

Post is a key player in the Lutes’ push for their second Northwest Conference Championship in three seasons and was a key factor in the Lutes 2007 championship.

RecycleCollege was created by seniors John de Mars and Jacob Augustine. After buying textbooks their first semester freshmen year de Mars and Augustine felt that should be another way to buy textbooks and for more reasonable prices. Augustine and de Mars said that there is a lock on the textbook industry and that it is an oligopoly. They feel that RecycleCollege addresses this issue by creating an alternative way for students to buy and sell their textbooks.
