A week before the 2022 season began, Texas State head baseball coach Steven Trout noted that Wesley Faison looked like he was “back to the Wesley of 2020” in practice.
The Wesley of 2020 was one of the biggest bats in the Sun Belt. In 17 games, Faison was third in the conference with a .760 slugging percentage and tied for second in the league with six home runs. He also led the Bobcats with a .352 batting average and a 1.159 OPS.
The Wesley of 2021 wasn’t the same player. He struggled at the plate all year long, getting on base just .283% of the time — the lowest mark among any Texas State player with at least seven at-bats. He finished with fewer hits and RBIs than the year before despite playing in nearly twice as many games.
