Baumann’s exceptional performance contributes to the Renegades’ current winning streak, and he becomes the second consecutive Renegade to receive the Player of the Week recognition. As a freshman from the University of Texas-San Antonio, Baumann maintains an impressive season batting average of .357, along with a remarkable .525 on-base percentage. He has also showcased his power with one home run and one triple so far. In the past week, Baumann accumulated 10 hits, including a noteworthy 4-hit game against Nevada, which resulted in an 8-5 victory.

Muck has proven to be a valuable asset, allowing just one run and averaging nearly five strikeouts per outing.
