- Starting all 35 of his appearances, Hoy batted a team-high .311 in 132 at-bats. Topping the squad in home runs (6), triples (2), and doubles (13), Hoy slugged a squad-best .576, while driving in a team-high 26 RBI.
- Starting all 39 of the Princeton's games, Arendt ranked second on the team in batting average, hitting .299 on the season. Scoring a squad-best 22 runs, Arendt also ranked second on the Tigers in doubles (9), home runs (2), and RBI (14).
Moving on Up
- Tyler Servais was selected in the 27th round by the Detroit Tigers in the 2015 Major League Baseball Draft.
- The 820th overall pick, Servais is the third Tiger in the last two seasons to be selected, joining former teammates Michael Fagan and Alec Keller, who were chosen in the ninth and 17th rounds of the 2014 MLB Draft, by the Washington Nationals and Oakland Athletics, respectively.
