Whitecaps Young Smacks 5 Hits Friday, May 15th , 2026 Even as a kid, Jeff Young said his coaches told him the key to hitting was making contact, and letting everything else flow from there. At Fifth Third Ballpark, Young showed how well he learned that lesson. The 22-year-old left fielder had 5 hits in 6 at-bats for the West Michigan Whitecaps, helping his team knock off the Peoria Chiefs by a score of 3-2. "They always said, just keep your eye on the ball, don't overswing, make contact and you never know what will happen," he said. "That's all I did." Jeff Young singled in the 1st, hit an RBI single in the 2nd, hit an RBI double in the 4th, grounded out in the 6th, walked in the 8th, singled in the 10th and singled in the 12th. In 31 games this year, Young has posted a .274 average and put up these numbers: 3 home runs, 14 RBIs and 14 runs scored. View Boxscore |
