It has been a wet and wild first half of the Ivy League baseball season.

Four weather-delayed games are scheduled for today before interdivision play—and with it the first half of the Ivy season—is officially concluded, but the Ivy season has already produced skyrocketing prospects, unfulfilled expectations and a new favorite—Harvard.

Less than two weeks after the Crimson baseball team—picked to finish third in the Red Rolfe division by Baseball America—kicked off its conference schedule with a loss to Cornell, Harvard (13-9-1, 7-1 Ivy) is on a seven-game Ivy win streak entering the beginning of divisional play this weekend.

The streak has put Harvard two games up on Dartmouth, Brown and Yale.

Over in the Lou Gehrig division, the biggest story is the struggles of eight-time defending division champion Princeton.

The Tigers—who have won three of the last four Ivy titles, including last year’s—are only 3-5 in the league after splitting games with Dartmouth, Yale and Brown and getting swept by Harvard.

Columbia leads the division at 5-5, which means that despite its recent poor showings, the Tigers are only a game back and still the favorites to win the division.

And they’re confident they’ll do just that.

“We haven’t hit our stride, but I can’t say it worries me,” centerfielder B.J. Szymanski told the Daily Princetonian after the Tigers split a pair with Yale to finish last weekend 2-2. “We’re still confident that we can win a lot of games.”

AND THE WINNER IS

If the award for Ivy Player of the Year were handed out today, Harvard’s Trey Hendricks would seem to be one of three favorites.

The senior—who doubles as a pitcher and infielder for the Crimson—is in the middle of a stellar season both on the mound and at the plate.

Hendricks is currently second in the league—and 10th in the nation—in batting average at .448, and is among the league leaders in hits, RBI, slugging and on-base percentage.

Hendricks has also won both of his league starts, allowing only three earned runs in 17 innings.

The other top candidates for the award—Dartmouth shortstop Ed Lucas and Szymanski—are also posting impressive seasons.
