Stott began his collegiate career with an 11-game hitting streak that produced a .447 batting average, 21 hits, 10 runs and nine RBI. The local product out of Desert Oasis High School played in 54 games (all at shortstop) and finished the year with a .294 batting average with 63 hits, which included 11 doubles, two triples and one home run.
