This year? He&#8217;ll become the first TinCap from Northeast Indiana to be turned into a bobblehead. <\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\nngg_shortcode_0_placeholder\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to Source One Solutions, the first 2,000 fans at Parkview Field on Sunday, Aug. 16 will receive a free Josh VanMeter bobblehead. The TinCaps host the Cedar Rapids Kernels (Minnesota Twins) that day at 1:05 p.m.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s terrific to be able to feature Josh on a bobblehead,&#8221; TinCaps President Mike Nutter said. &#8220;He&#8217;s a great prospect for the Padres, but he&#8217;s an even better young man. We thank the folks at Source One Solutions for making this bobblehead possible.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>VanMeter, who&#8217;s from Ossian, Ind. (15 miles from Downtown Fort Wayne), was selected by the San Diego Padres in the 5th round of Major League Baseball&#8217;s 40-round draft in June 2013. Last year, as a 19-year-old, he played his first full professional season as a TinCap. <\/p>\n<p>The left-handed batting middle infielder hit .254 in 116 games with 3 home runs and 39 runs batted in a year ago. He had the second highest batting average on the team in the second half of the season, hitting .281. <\/p>\n<p>VanMeter drove in all four of Fort Wayne&#8217;s runs on the final day of the regular season in a 4-0 win against the Bowling Green Hot Rods to send the TinCaps to the Midwest League Playoffs for a sixth consecutive year. In the team&#8217;s postseason opener, he had the game-winning hit in the eighth inning against Detroit Tigers pitcher Luke Putkonen, who was making a rehab appearance with the West Michigan Whitecaps. <\/p>\n<p>VanMeter&#8217;s clutch performances with the TinCaps in 2014 came after he led nearby Norwell High School to a Class 3A State Championship in 2013. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s an honor for us to sponsor a giveaway item to the fans at Parkview Field that celebrates the beginning of a very promising baseball career,&#8221; said Jim Beights, Source One Solutions Marketing Director. &#8220;Josh is one of us \u00e2\u20ac\u201d a member of our own community \u00e2\u20ac\u201d and having his own bobblehead will help us all remember his time with us in Fort Wayne as a member of the TinCaps. We wish him the very best in his endeavors.&#8221;  <\/p>\n<p>VanMeter was on Fort Wayne&#8217;s active roster to begin the 2015 season. After reaching base three times through his first six at-bats, in the second game of the year on April 13, he fractured his left fibula while in the field turning a double play at second base. <\/p>\n<p>At 20-years-old, VanMeter is regarded as one of the Top 30 prospects in San Diego&#8217;s farm system. <\/p>\n<p>Although disappointed to be on the TinCaps&#8217; disabled list for the time being, VanMeter is thankful for having a bobblehead made in his likeness. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s pretty cool,&#8221; said VanMeter, who&#8217;s currently rehabbing at the Padres&#8217; facilities in Peoria, Ariz. &#8220;The bobblehead looks really good. I appreciate the TinCaps and Source One Solutions for doing it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Last year the TinCaps gave away Matt Wisler bobbleheads. The Bryan, Ohio, native pitched in Fort Wayne in 2012 and is currently in the Atlanta Braves organization with the Triple-A Gwinnett Braves. Wisler is a likely candidate to make the big leagues this season.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s our honor to give away 2,000 bobbleheads of another area player,&#8221; Nutter said. &#8220;From Josh&#8217;s amateur days with the Summit City Sluggers and the Norwell High School State Championship, he has always been a fierce competitor and great performer. That is the case now that he&#8217;s a TinCaps player and hopefully someday he will be a major leaguer with the San Diego Padres.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Tickets to Josh VanMeter Bobblehead Day presented by Source One Solutions are available online at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tincapstickets.com\/web\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">TinCapsTickets.com<\/a>, by calling 260-482-6400, or by visiting the Parkview Field Ticket Office.
