After two seasons playing for LSU-Eunice (La.) JC, Town had an impressive debut with Dallas Baptist, hitting .326/.436/.519 with 10 home runs. DBU plays in a high offense environment (Town was fifth on the team in batting average and slugging percentage), but Town puts together quality at-bats. Town rocks and fires into his swing, showing a handsiness that helps him make adjustments when he gets caught out front. Town’s fringe-average power is largely pull power, although he has shown some ability to drive the ball to the opposite-field power alley. Town is an average runner.
