As for the power category, that manifested in 18 extra-base hits. Of those, 10 were doubles, three were triples and five went yard for home runs. Those boosted his slugging percentage up to .648 and combined with his on-base percentage for a 1.171 OPS.<\/p>\n
Each of those numbers were toward the top of the county, or in the case of his 48 hits, the most in Shelby County.<\/p>\n
All-around excellence across the entirety of Spain Park\u2019s season elevated Greb to an essential part of the Jags order. It also netted him a slew of individual honors, including a North-South All-Star selection and both All-State and All-County First Team nods.<\/p>\n
Now, he can add Shelby County Hitter of the Year to that haul as he prepares for one more season in the black, blue and white before heading to Auburn.<\/p>\n
