Jeff Larish

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jeffrey David Larish (born October 11, 1982 in Tempe, Arizona, USA) is a power-hitting left-handed first baseman who was chosen by the Detroit Tigers in the fifth round (150th overall) of the 2005 Major League Baseball Amateur Draft. Larish currently attends Arizona State University, and on June 21, 2005, Larish became the third College World Series player in history to hit three home runs in a single game.

Larish had previously been drafted by the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 13th round of the 2004 Amateur Draft, but turned down a reported $660,000 contract offer at the advice of his agent, Scott Boras, so that he could complete college.
