As a Laker in 2011: Mitaynes was one of the team’s top hitters on offense, finishing the season with a .403 batting average. He was also a quality run producer at the plate, producing 13 Runs Batted In. Expect Mitaynes to become a crucial piece to the Lakers lineup this season by being a key hitter and anchor in the offense. Look for Coach Marren to lean on his veteran leadership on the field and in the clubhouse. The sophomore is currently majoring in liberal arts and sciences.
