Happy Birthday - 2/6

3B Matt Duffy (23)
Drafted in 2011 in the 20th round out of the University of Tennessee, this Massachusetts native was nothing if not consistent in his first year in the system.  In 63 games at Tri-City, he had a .298/.370/.417/.787 batting line with 20 doubles, a triple and two home runs and was named a mid-season All-Star in the New York-Penn League.  In looking at his splits, he hit equally well against LHP's and RHP's and hit well throughout the season.  He only hit .252 with bases empty, but improved that to .342 with runners on and .352 with RISP.
