UNLV Player To Watch

Dean Toigo, UNLV Hustlin' Rebels - Toigo heads into the Credit Union 1 Mountain West Championship carrying a 19-game hitting streak with him. He has been by far the team's top player at the plate this season. His 18 home runs are 11 more than anyone on the team, and his 74 RBIs lead the team by 27. It's not just the power either, he's batting a team-best .384 while also leading the team in almost all the key hitting categories, including OPS and Slugging. 

San Diego State Player To Watch

Nevan Noonan, San Diego State Aztecs - The Aztecs lineup doesn't have a ton of pop, but when the power does come, it comes from Noonan. He leads the team with eight home runs and 45 RBIs. He's also batting .345, which is second on the team. When the Rebels pitching staff is navigating this lineup, this is the batter they'll have to be most carful with if they want their season to continue for another day.
