Not Your Every Day Second Baseman

HARVARD BASEBALL'S JIM MROWKA

Now Mrowka is looking to upgrade his power.

"I'm trying to involve my legs more in my swing and drive the ball a little harder. Hopefully, I'll hit a few more homers this season," he says.

Mrowka describes himself as a hitter who likes to "spray the ball to all fields" and hammer it into the alleys for doubles and the occasional home run.

Switch Hitter

As a switch hitter, he punishes pitchers from both sides of the plate.

"Left-handed, I like the low inside fastball. Right-handed, probably something a little higher and out over the plate more," Mrowka says.

Either way, Mrowka loves to hit.

"I just like the satisfaction of driving the ball hard. It's quite a feeling," Mrowka says.

With a team batting average of .351, it seems everyone on the Crimson loves to hit--and that means runs.

"We have great talent and everybody is a year older and a year better," Mrowka says.

"A lot of guys played in good summer leagues and that should help because you play against better competition and you can only improve," he says.

If Harvard improves as Mrowka has, get ready for stellar season.
