Rizzo has now started in 18 of 23 Irish games this year, including each of the last 11. He has scored at least one run in each of the last seven games, including Tuesday's game where which he scored three, and is currently second in runs scored with 18.

Not only is Rizzo a terror for opposing pitchers, he also sports a pretty versatile - and agile- glove on defense. While earning the bulk of his playing time this season in left field replacing the glove of Brian Stavisky, Rizzo was seen behind the plate as catcher late in Tuesday's game against Detroit. "I caught a lot in my career, I've played a lot of outfield too, so it really doesn't matter to me where I play, I'm pretty experienced in both posi­ tions," Rizzo said. "Playing catcher at the college level is a little different than in high school and on a club team. It takes a little bit getting used to." So far this season, Rizzo has only made one error and wields a decent . 94 7 fielding percentage. Versatility is one of Rizzo's key assets. And while his pro­ duction numbers definitely support his playing time, he is just happy to be making a contribution to a winning effort, whether that is by his clutch hitting, his consistent defense or his aggressive baserunning. "I just want to do anything to help out the team," Rizzo said. "If that's to take an extra base, then that helps putting the runners in scoring position, and helps the batter to get the job done."
