Previously, we discussed Taylor Munden’s bat, but how about the glove? That was a highlight of a winning weekend for WVU’s baseball team, which took two of three at Kansas State and is now in fourth place in a — could it be? — ho-hum Big 12.

Remember, the league had four teams in the preseason top 10. It has one now and just two ranked teams. Texas and Texas Tech have slipped and the Mountaineers find themselves doing well in some key statistical areas.

WVU might also have one of the Big 12’s best freshmen, and the hero Sunday has delivered in his first college season. Kyle Davis rakes — not a lot of walks, but not a lot of strikeouts, either — and that’s why he’s playing. Davis was a very good catcher prospect at Cincinnati Hills, but that’s a different position across the college season, and the crouch, the short hops, the throwing and the heat take a toll. Davis has instead played left field and second base, and though there were natural questions about how well he’d defend and whether the bat could outpace the glove, he has but one error.

The Mountaineers play on the road tomorrow against Maryland and, at long last, open up their new ballpark Friday for the first game of a three-game non-conference series against Butler.
