Oraj Anu, a key cog in the lineup for the 2018 Valley League champion New Market Rebels, is off to a hot start after three games for Wallace-Dothan.
The sophomore outfielder and Kentucky signee is 6-14, with 4 runs, 7 RBIs, a double, and 2 home runs.. and even a stolen base. His slash line is 429/429/929 so far.
Oraj was ATVL’s 6th best hitter in the 2018 season, and made all three prospect lists after the season- Baseball America (#4), Perfect Game (#3), and ATVL (#5).
Congrats to Oraj on his quick start, and to you, John Leonard, for continuing excellent player tracking and reporting. The Rebel family has fond memories of Oraj’s switch-hitting thunder bat (“Anu can do”), including his 7th inning grand slam at Winchester, June 21, 2018, after entering the game as a pinch-hitter inn the 6th.
