Most hits by a player in the ISC World Tournament over the past seven years? Drum roll please: Jarrad Martin. The veteran first baseman leads an elite group of hitters by a single hit, topping out the list with a whopping 60 hits.

The poll drew over 300 votes, in just four days time, among the most popular polls ever posted at Fastpitchwest. The voter tally was at 150 after a two days, and double with a boost from the announcement posted at Al’s Fastball. As you can see from the vote tallies, readers of Al’s and Fastpitchwest know their hitters. Many zeroed in on Jody Eidt and Ryan Wolfe to be near the top of the list. Martin was pegged a bit lower by voters, but still among the top four.

The interesting thing about the list is how close the totals are. A single game, and certainly the 2009 ISC World Tournament could shake up the top 10 in a week’s time.

Editor’s note: Watch for another ISC stat poll soon !
