He has yet to post an error on 328 chances at first base (4th in the Pac-12) while he leads the league in helping to turn 41 double plays this season - 12 more than any other players in the Pac-12 and a stat that shouldn't be overlooked given the amount of incredible picks and stretch-grabs he has made to help faciliate those double plays at first base.

#LINSANITY

• Lyle Lin has embraced his new role as the team's designated hitter this season, currently ninth in the Pac-12 with 35 RBIs this year.
