A.J. Yoder, the older brother of current Bison senior infielder Ben Yoder, is the newest addition to the Bucknell baseball coaching staff. The 2009 graduate of Virginia Military Institute earned a degree in psychology while also playing all four years on the diamond for the Keydets. An accomplished infielder, Yoder ranked in the top 10 of 11 different categories in the VMI record books at the time of his graduation, and he set the program single-season record with 80 hits as a senior. Yoder stands third on the career hits list with 221, while his 10 career triples and 46 career hit by pitches place him second on both those ledgers. A First Team All-Big South Conference selection as a senior, Yoder hit .349 with three home runs and 27 runs batted in during his final season. He started all 53 games, piled up 18 extra base hits and was second on the squad with 11 stolen bases. Yoder, who also made the Big South All-Tournament Team in 2009, finished his career with a .300 batting average, eight home runs, 92 runs batted in and 131 runs scored in 201 games. At Bucknell, Yoder will work closely with the Bison infielders and serve as the first base coach. |
