Collins makes name for himself at plate for Kernels
Cedar Rapids Kernels catcher Michael Collins, 20, Australian, has raised his profile with a .322 season batting average and key hits the past week. Manager Bobby Magallanes cites his work ethic and makeup as driving his chance to compete for the Midwest League batting title race. Collins grew into everyday duties behind the plate after early at bats at first base. He signed at 16 and faces minor league free agency after next season if the Angels deem him unlikely to stick.
