Austin Bossart is hoping the fourth time’s a charm. Through three years as the Red and Blue’s starting catcher, Bossart has enjoyed one of the most impressive careers in recent Penn history, but he is eager to get his hands on a championship this final time around. Both an offensive and defensive stalwart, Bossart was integral to the Quakers’ impressive run last season, which ended abruptly with a playoff loss to Columbia. Several preseason changes were critical to Bossart’s contributions to a surprisingly successful Penn season in 2014. For one, Bossart jumped from the six-spot in the lineup to the two-hole and didn’t miss a beat. The O’Fallon, Illinois, native improved his on base percentage to a team-leading .397, batted a solid .297 and finished second in the club in both hits (47) and runs (29). Those numbers alone were worthy of Bossart’s first-team All-Ivy selection, but the job he did behind the plate was just as impressive.
