UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - Penn State baseball is 37 games into the season and outfielder Steve Snyder doesn't want to change anything about his final season in the blue and white. And why would he?
The Westchester, Pa. native is hitting .350 with an on-base percentage of .433. Along with those stats, his 49 hits and 13 steals all sit among the top 10 in the Big Ten.
Snyder said prior to the 2014 season he and the new Penn State coaches established an approach for him at the top of the Nittany Lion lineup and to date, it's safe to say it has worked. Now, as he and his Penn State team are chasing a Big Ten playoff berth, Snyder is working to stay on the hot streak he has been on all season long.
"It's was just establishing an approach, sticking to it and not trying to do too much at the plate," he said. "Sometimes when you are having success you try to do too much and I think right now I'm trying to just stick to what I've been doing."
Head coach Rob Cooper told Snyder before the season started the key for him to have a productive senior campaign at the dish was to simplify his at bats.
