MIAMI -- Garrett Wittels sports a shaggy 'do and has a mouthful of bubble gum.

What else would you expect from a guy chasing the longest hitting streak in Division I baseball?

No one knows exactly why Wittels, an infielder at Florida International, is the one on a 54-game hitting streak -- among thousands of Division I college baseball players in America. But FIU reliever Andre Vazquez might have started the ball rolling.

Last season, as a freshman out of Miami's Krop High School, Wittels struggled, hitting .246 and stressing over every at-bat. Vazquez, a close friend, shared some wisdom.....

You know, if Garrett wasn't the FIU starting short-stop and on a 54 game hitting streak, you could easily see him as one of us Sun Belt Conference geeks real easily.

This is what he said about what's going on over here: "FIU, the FIU program, the athletic director, Pete Garcia, as well as all the head coaches are starting to strive in the right direction. We just needed one little thing that would just give energy to the team, give energy to the university so we could definitely start going in the right direction."

Doesn't that sound like the 'we need a little more time' kind of stuff we say here all the time. Next thing you know he'll be talking about conference expansion, FAU's new stadium and who the real University of Louisiana is.

He's a well-spoken kid for sure...
