Currently: West, a first baseman and designated hitter, has started 28 games and played in 36 for the 24-13-1 Sun Devils, ranked No. 15 in the nation. The 5-11, 190-pounder has started his collegiate career with some robust offensive numbers: a .361 batting average, 30 RBIs, 16 extra-base hits (including six homers) and a team-best .648 slugging percentage.
