Tristan started his collegiate baseball career at Chandler Gilbert Community College in Chandler, Arizona, where he became and avid line dancer while he destroyed baseballs and won National Junior College Gold Glove for his work in centerfield. Tristan then took his talents to Southern Illinois University, where he continued to rake, hitting .355 with 55 RBI’s and 53 runs scored in 60 games played this past spring. He’s been a big part of the Bananas 26-4 start to this summer, playing a phenomenal centerfield while slashing .320/.465/.460, with 14 RBI’s, 13 runs, 16 walks and only 6 strikeouts in 17 games played. Tristan said it was a whirlwind of a day following the draft and then a truly special moment once he was selected.“It was really surreal,” Tristan said. “The whole day I was on zoom with my advisor just waiting to see if anyone wanted me. Milwaukee gave me an offer, I thought about it for a couple seconds and then said yes and had to wait a full round to see if they decided to go with someone else or if I would actually be drafted by them. My dad found out from the draft tracker before they said my name and he started going crazy. I wanted to make sure I actually heard my name live before it was official, and once that happened we were all jumping around screaming. It was an incredible feeling and a moment I’ll never forget for sure.”Yes, one of our primary outfielders thus far was a Savannah Banana. Getz watched some of his scouting tape for the Bananas and was super impressed by his skills.

You wouldn't move Carlson off SS, you hope Bonemer starts playing some left, you might think Roch plays third because he's not injury prone the way Colson has been thus far.I think Colson should be playing SS right now instead of Acuña, but it's a reasonable assumption to think he'll move off the position in several years.
