He also leads Rivets\u2019 batters in hits (39), runs (29) and OPS (.974). When it comes to power, he has five doubles, one triple and two home runs this season.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The University of Hawaii right-handed hitter has been with the Rivets since the beginning of the season. He\u2019s been used all over the field, playing each infield position as well as being used in the outfield. He\u2019s second on the Rivets with 20 double plays.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Honolulu native\u2019s last series saw him go 5-11 (.455 AVG), with a home run, double, three RBIs, five walks and four runs scored.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">After committing to Cal Poly and playing there, Shimao transferred to his hometown, the University of Hawaii. Injuries plagued his first year, but now, playing in Rockford, he\u2019s an All-Star.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cI\u2019m hoping he could hit every inning,\u201d Head Coach Chase Brewster said in June. \u201cWe need more guys to be like Shimao in college baseball. Want to work, show up early, stay late, work hard, let the results speak for themselves.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Shimao was the only Rivet selected for the 2025 Northwoods League All-Star Game, which will be played on Wednesday, July 16 at 6:35 p.m. (CST) at Warner Park in Madison, Wisconsin.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ROCKFORD, Ill. \u2014 Rivets infielder Tate Shimao was selected to the Northwoods League All-Star Game, replacing Reece Tarini to represent  [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":70,"featured_media":17670,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-17667","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-team-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.5 (Yoast SEO v26.5) -
