Liddi reaches 100 RBI milestone

Italian product Alex Liddi reached the amazing milestone of 100 RBI with a 2 for 3, 2 RBI performance in a September 2nd win against Lancaster.  Liddi is currently batting .348 with 23 HR, 101 RBI, and an amazing 1.016 OPS.  While the California League is known as a hitters league, those numbers are amazing in any league.

Liddi turned 21 two weeks ago, so if he holds on for another week he can celebrate the league batting title with some champagne (he has a 7 point lead over Roger Clemens' son Koby), and he ranks 3rd in RBI, and 4th in HR and 2nd in OPS.

It would seem very likely that Liddi will start next season as the first Italian born hitter in double-A, and the take another step in his race with Alessandro Maestri to be the first Italian in the Major Leagues.
