Ersty on the Radio

If you have the capability to pull in KQDJ on Saturday morning (that would be 1400 AM) and you have your eyes open at 9:06 a.m., you should tune in.

The pride of the Buffalo City, Jamestown (ND), will be on the airways talking about how his career is going this season with the Houston Astros.

Taking a look at Erstad's season (through June 4), he has 74 at bats in 50 games. He's hitting .311 (23 hits), 1 home run and 12 RBI.

In May was hit .300 (10-for-30) with four doubles, the home run and 8 RBI. He had four games in which he had more than two official at bats (two of those games during interleague play at Texas), and in two of those four games with four at bats, he had a pair of hits.

Basically a .300 hitter for his career, his postseason resume includes hitting .339 (40-for-118) in 29 games. He hit 3 homers and had 12 RBI while collecting 5 walks and striking out 17 times. He was also 4-for-4 in steal attempts.

This is all while playing plus defense either in the outfield or at first.

I am pulling for Ersty to become a bench coach when he decides to retire from being an MLB player, I think the guy just IS a leader.
