MARTIN, Tenn. – University of Tennessee at Martin slugger Christian Hall was spotlighted with the "Best Freshman" accolade as part of D1Baseball's postseason review of the Ohio Valley Conference.
A Calera, Ala. native, Hall emerged as one of the brightest young stars in the OVC – starting all 15 of his games at designated hitter during the abbreviated season. He led all OVC freshmen with a .368 batting average while ranking in the OVC's top-eight overall in walks (12, third), sacrifice flies (two, fifth) and on-base percentage (.465, eighth).
Hall topped the Skyhawks with 21 hits, 13 runs scored and eight multi-hit performances during his rookie season in 2020. He was responsible for a pair of doubles, two home runs and nine RBI's – driving in a run in nine different contests. He accounted for a career-best three hits against Saint Louis on Feb. 16.
Hall demonstrated a clutch gene at the dish, as the 6-2, 230-pound southpaw hit .400 (10-for-25) with runners on base and was a perfect 5-for-5 in RBI opportunities with a runner on third base and less than two outs. He additionally collected a .462 batting average (6-of-13) with two outs.
