Geocache Description:

Hidden in an area of South Mountain we like to call 'The Oasis', this cache is near an area that usually has running water (although it is currently only standing water). It's about a 1.5 mile hike from the nearest trailhead we know of, although some of you will probably find a closer one. You can take a well marked trail right to 'The Oasis' and the cache is a short jaunt up a slight hill. No need to pillage the landscape by bushwacking.

WARNING: The cache is not at the listed coordinates! You must solve the following puzzle to find the actual coordinates for the cache.

We have been planning on hiding this cache since Spring Training, but we just never got around to it. With the strike deadline looming, we decided that it was about time to finally hide it.

To find the cache, you must first calculate the Earned Run Average (ERA) and Slugging Percentage (SLG) for this player.

To the given North coordinates, add the SLG. To the given West coordinates, add the ERA. Only then will you be able to find the cache.

The cache contents are baseball themed. If possible, keep the theme going.
