As a freshman, Darby played in 36 games, earning 30 starts. He slashed .241/.381/.455 (average, on base %, slugging), with 7 home runs, 3 doubles, and 20 RBI.
Last season as a sophomore, Darby started all 55 games at third base, putting up a slash line of .285/.387/.463. He hit 7 home runs, 11 doubles, and drove in 30 RBI.
As a junior this year, Darby looks to grow at the plate, and crawl his way up the draft boards with a solid performance.
