Baseball Releases 2009 Schedule

Fri, Jul 18, 2008 at 1:07 PM - [Baseball] - article courtesy of Campbellsville U. Sports Info.

19th year Head Coach Beauford Sanders announces the release of the 2009 schedule

19th year Head Coach Beauford Sanders has announced the 2009 Campbellsville University baseball schedule has been released.  It is by far the most extensive schedule the Tigers have had as they will play 58 regular season games against opponents of all levels.  The team will open up their season on the road for the first time in three years as they will travel south to take on Faulkner University and Auburn University in Alabama.  They will open up on the 13th of February for the four game spit series.  They will then head home for their home opener against Asbury University on the 17th of February.

After their first home series, the Tigers will be hosting the Anual Cancer Classic Tournament which guarantees them at least four games.  They will follow the tournament by heading to Frankfort to take on NCAA DII  Kentucky State.  February proves to be an exciting month for the Tigers as they will finish the month with weekend series hosting Spring Arbor University and Lindenwood University, both NAIA World Series representatives.

 

The team will kick off the beginning of March with a midweek tune up against Huntington before their conference opener where they will host Georgetown for a four game series.  They will follow that with a four game series at Cumberlands and the rest of their conference opponents.  Other non conference opponents include Trevecca Nazarene, Indiana University S.E., Union College, Union University, and Cumberland University.  The Tigers will conclude their regular season hosting regional rival Cumberland University on the 26th of April with the MSC tournament to follow.

 

The 2009 schedule is available to the public on the Baseball homepage.  Click schedule/results to see the schedule in its entirety.

 

Baseball Recruiting Class Continues to Shape up with Three more Additions.

Fri, Jul 18, 2008 at 12:59 PM - [Baseball] - article courtesy of Campbellsville U. Sports Info.

Spencer Frantz is another Junior College signee that could make an instant impact.

Three more recruits have announced their commitments to play baseball at Campbellsville University in the 2008-2009 school year.  Two more pitchers will join the staff and another position player will come on board.  All three of the signees are junior college transfers and will all be expected to make instant impacts.  The total number of off season signees is up to 15 players, with 13 of those players transferring from junior colleges.  Again, three different states are represented in this bunch (California, Florida, and Oregon).  The three recruits are:

Spencer Frantz, UTIL, Chemekita Junior College, Salem, Oregon:

 

Utility man Spencer Frantz will join the Tiger's mix and will be a welcomed addition.  He is known as being an extremely versatile player as he is capable of playing all eight defensive positions.  Primarily an infielder, Frantz can also be an option as a corner outfielder and can catch.  He played his freshman year at Bethany University (CA) where he saw most of his action at third base.  He then played his sophomore season at Chemekita and saw time at short and first.

-Coach Sanders on the signing of Spencer Frantz: "I am very impressed with Spencer on all levels.  His primary concern is what is best for the team and that is why I know he will be a great fit for us.  He is a great athlete and his versatility will be welcomed."

 

Skylar Brewar, RHP/OF, Skyline Community College, Pacifica, California:

 

Skylar Brewar has committed to the Tigers for the 2009 season after serving as duel player for Skyline Community College.  Prior to his sophomore season, Brewar pitched at NCAA Div-1 Sacramento State.  Brewar is 6-4, 215 pounds and offers a good hard fast ball that touches 90 mph.  He will also compete for a spot in the outfield for the Tigers as he possesses tremendous power.

-Coach Sanders on the signing of Skylar Brewar: "The sky is the limit for Skylar.  He has a great build and will continue to get better.  We expect him to help us a great deal on the mound and with the bat."

 

Justin Berman, LHP, Palm Beach Community College, Palm Beach, Florida:

 

The coaching staff is thrilled to announce the signing of Justin Berman as he will add even more depth to an already deep pitching staff.  The lefty will transfer after playing at Palm Beach Community College (FL).  Berman sits in the mid to upper 80's and will be able to compete for a great deal of time on the mound.

-Coach Sanders on the signing of Justin Berman: "Adding another lefty to the mix is huge for us as we finish up recruiting.  Justin has a live arm and has good stuff.  He will get better with time and we anticipate him being a difference maker right away."

 

Three more to join Tiger Baseball in 2009

Thu, Jun 19, 2008 - [Baseball] - article courtesy of Campbellsville U. Sports Info.

 

Lefty Dave Masinter could spearhead the rotation in 2009

It was announced yesterday that the Tiger pitching staff would become even deeper in 2009 with the addition of three more pitchers.  Head Coach Beauford Sanders announced that the commitments of one high school, one junior college, and one four year player have been made.  They all come from different backgrounds and they are all from three different states.  Sanders says this trio is solid and all three of them will have the chance to be impact players next season.  The total number of commitments is now up to 13.  10 Junior College players, 1 four year transfer, and 2 high school players are all in the mix.  The three new additions are:

Ryan Branscum, RHP, Volunteer State Junior College, Gallatin, Tennessee

Ryan Branscum will be a Tiger in 2009 after playing two seasons at Volunteer State JC in Tennessee.  He is 6 feet tall, weighs 220 lbs, and can be used in multiple roles.  As a sophomore for the Pioneers, Branscum appeared in 13 games, while making 4 starts.  He compiled a 4-2 record and struck out 43 batters in 44 innings of work.  He will be able to help the Tigers immediately with a good hard fastball and good off speed stuff.

-Coach Sanders on the signing of Ryan Branscum: "We're not sure what role Ryan will be in next year, but one thing we're sure of is that he will help our program right away.  He is a competitor that will do well either as a starter or a reliever.  He's a team guy and will be a perfect fit."

 

David Masinter, LHP, Lewis-Clark State College, Los Gatos, California

After taking a medical red shirt in 2008, big left hander Dave Masinter will transfer to Campbellsville and don the Tiger uniform in 2009.  Prior to signing with LC State, Masinter played Junior College ball at West Valley College in Lost Gatos, CA. and is now the fourth West Valley player to sign with Campbellsville.  In his sophomore year with WVC, Masinter served as a weekend starter and closed when he wasn't starting.  He finished with a 7-3 record and was a perfect 5 for 5 in save opportunities.  He also averaged a little better than a strikeout per inning.  His fastball is in the upper 80's, he can touch the low 90's, and his off speed stuff teeters on dominant. 

-Coach Sanders of the signing of Dave Masinter: "The addition of Dave to our mix is going to help us immensely.  He has great stuff and should be one of the region's best pitchers.  He knows how to pitch and should be a welcomed addition to our rotation."

 

Ryan Watson, RHP, Bowling Green, Kentucky 

Ryan Watson becomes the second high school player to commit to play Baseball for the Tigers in 2009.  The second high school pitcher, Watson played his prep ball in Bowling Green and worked under former Tiger All-American Donnie Johnson.  Watson will have a legitimate shot as a freshman to see significant time for the Tigers with a firm fastball and a great changeup.  He is mature well beyond his years and should be a perfect fit into the Tiger Baseball family.

-Coach Sanders on the signing of Ryan Watson: "Ryan will be a perfect fit next year.  As a freshman, he will have a shot to get right in the mix and compete on the hill for us.  He is very mature and he is a hard worker, both attributes that fit right into our program.

 

Baseball adds Shortstop Nick Bertolucci

Mon, Jun 9, 2008 at 12:59 PM - [Baseball]- article courtesy of Campbellsville U. Sports Info.

 

Bertolucci was the starting shortstop for West Valley College who finished #3 in California

 

Head Coach Beauford Sanders announced yesterday that shortstop Nick Bertolucci would be joining the Tiger Baseball program in 2009.  Sanders is thrilled about the addition of Bertolucci who not only brings a lot to the table offensively, many coaches and scouts on the west coast have reffered to Bertolucci as one of the state's finest defensive shortstops.  He is the third player to sign out of West Valley Community College (Los Gatos, CA) joining teammates Ian Pick and Tyler Derby.  Bertolucci is 5'10, 165 pounds and he hits from the left side.  He has gap to gap power and is a major base stealing threat.

     

Bertolucci served as West Valley's sparkplug in their run during the state championship.  He was their everyday shortstop in the state tournament and made just one error in the postseason where West Valley made it to the state's final four.  Offensively, he was their best weapon as he was 15 for 30, good for a .500 batting average.  In regional play, he hit just under .700.  Bertolucci also pitchced for West Valley.  He served out of the Viking bullpen with a mid 80's fastball.

 

Bertolucci will be looked at to make an instant impact with the bat and defensively in the Tiger lineup in 2009.

 

-Coach Sanders on the signing of Nick Bertolucci: "Adding Berto is huge for the program.  He is very consistent defensively and he can do a lot with the bat.  He runs as well as anyone we have signed and should be a sparkplug in our lineup."

 

Baseball Signs Eight to Kick off 2009 Recruiting Class.

Mon, Jun 2, 2008 at 2:32 PM - [Baseball] - article courtesy of Campbellsville U. Sports Info.

Entering his 19th year at the helm, Head Coach Beauford Sanders announced the signing of eight new players.

It was announced today that Campbellsville Baseball will be adding eight recruits to the program, starting in the fall of 2008. The recruiting class is marked by speed offensively and includes a handful of pitchers that will be immediate difference makers. Head Coach Beauford Sanders has referred to this recruiting as exceptional as speed and power are the primary makeup . The class includes seven Community College Transfers and one High School signee. The eight recruits makes up for a big portion of the '08-'09 signees, but there are still a few more players the Tigers hope to ink in the coming summer months.   Below is information about each of the players signed:

Colin Bryan, 2B/SS, Mission College, San Jose, California
The Tigers will welcome switch hitting second baseman Colin Bryan to the mix in 2009 and he should see significant time seeing that he is extremely versatile.  In 2008, Bryan finished with a .404 batting average, which was second highest in the Coast Conference North earning him first team all-conference honors.  Bryan also led the Saints in hits, doubles, and RBIs on top of having the highest fielding percentage on the team.  The switch hitter was Mission's every day number two or three hitter.

-Coach Sanders on Colin Bryan: "We are excited to have Colin because he is so versatile.  He can play five different positions on defense and will be in the middle infield mix.  He runs well and has good bat control."

Tyler Derby, 1B/LHP, West Valley College, Los Gatos, California 
Two way standout Tyler Derby will don the Tiger uniform in 2009 and it is projected he will be an impact player right off the bat.  While at West Valley College, Derby proved to be one of the best players in California.  He finished the season with a .404 batting average as West Valley's everyday first baseman.  Defensively, Derby finished with a .995 fielding percentage at first base.  A first team all conference selection, Derby also has great speed as he stole the second most bases for West Valley.  On the mound, Derby works in the mid to upper 80's and averaged 10.3 strikeouts per nine innings for the Vikings.  His efforts led West Valley to #9 national rating and they finished #3 in California.  Prior to signing with Campbellsville, Derby was being recruited heavily by Cal State Fullerton and San Jose State.

-Coach Sanders on Tyler Derby: "We are thrilled about Tyler's decision to come to Campbellsville.  We expect great things at first base and on the mound.  He is a verbal leader that has great wheels and will be a likely candidate to hit in the middle of our lineup."

Erik Fortner, LHP, Cincinnati, Ohio
Joining the pitching staff in 2009, Erik Fortner has perhaps the highest ceiling in the class.  The only high school signee at the moment, Fortner stands at 6'6 and has good velocity from the left side.  Multiple scouts have projected Fortner as one of the best left handed arms coming out of the Cincinnati area.  He will have a legitimate chance to be a difference maker as a freshman.

-Coach Sanders on Erik Fortner: "Erik has a high ceiling and we are projecting him to be a major contributor as a freshman.  We expect big things right away, and we are also aware that he will only get better as time passes."

Ian Pick, RHP, West Valley College, San Jose, California
Campbellsville will warmly welcome the addition of big time right hander Ian Pick in 2009.  Standing at 6'6, 225 pounds, Pick brings an electric fastball to the Tigers rotation.  He is projected to be at the top of the 2009 weekend rotation as his fastball sits at 87-89 mph, and tops out at 92.  Pick led West Valley's charge to the final four in 2008 as he finished with a 12-2 record and his ERA was a staunch 2.75.  Pick has made vast improvements in the last year and should shine for the Tigers over the next two years.

-Coach Sanders on Ian Pick: "I expect Ian to be the guy next year.  He has great stuff that should anchor our rotation.  If all goes as planned, he should be one of the conference's best arms."

Josh Shroeder, RHP, Mission College, Santa Clara, California 
Sinker baller Josh Shroeder will join the Tiger's rotation in 2009 after serving as Mission College's number one starter for the last two years.  He throws from a low three quarter arm slot and sits in the mid to upper 80's.  He has flashed 90 on multiple occasions.  The 6'2 righty finished the 2008 season throwing 58.2 innings and allowing just one homerun to go along with being the team leader in opposing batting average as opposing hitters hit just .249.

-Coach Sanders on Josh Shroeder: "I see Josh thriving in our program.  He has great stuff and knows how to pitch.  He put up great numbers at Mission and we expect nothing less next year."

Dillon Tindall, UTIL, Mission College, Campbell, California
Tiger Baseball is thrilled about the signing of Dillon Tindall as he has a wide array of talents to bring to the table.  Known for his homerun power, Tindall showed off his speed in 2008 as well.  As a member of the Saints, Tindall led the Coast Conference North in homeruns and also led his team in stolen bases.  As a member of the Tigers, Tindal provides all five tools and offers a great deal of versatility.  He can play in the outfield or corner infield positions.  On top of being an offensive force, Tindall can also log innings on the mound with an upper 80's fastball.

-Coach Sanders on Dillon Tindall: "Dillon has the potential to be a major force in the MSC.  As he shortens his stroke, he will hit even more homeruns and increase his on base percentage.  He can flat out fly and I love the intensity he plays with."

Zach Townsend, OF, Ohlone College, Freemont, California
The speedy Zach Townsend will join the Tiger outfield in 2009 after being a member of the Ohlone Renegades.  While at Ohlone, Townsend was the everyday centerfielder and was a threat with the bat and on the bases.  Townsend was known as one the Coast Conference's fastest players and showed pop with his bat late in the season.  Defensively, Townsend was phenomenal for the Renegades as he led the team in fielding percentage, making just one error.  Townsend will compete for an everyday role in the Tiger outfield.

-Coach Sanders on Zach Townsend: "Zach will be a perfect fit for our program.  He is aggressive, fast, and scrappy.  He has gap to gap power and will be a major base stealing threat.  Defensively, Zach is second to none."

Jimmy Voelker, C, Sacramento City College, Sacramento, California
Standing at an imposing 6'3, 220 pounds, Jimmy Voelker will join Logan Smith in the Tiger's catching duo.  In 2007 Voelker was national power Sac City's catcher helping lead them to the state championship game.  Voelker has what many call a big league arm behind the plate, throwing a consistent 1.8 down to second.  Offensively, Voelker has big time power and should be a major threat in the Tiger's lineup.  Voelker and Logan Smith will likely split up time at catcher and DH.

-Coach Sanders on Jimmy Voelker: "Jimmy gives us a great 1-2 punch behind the plate and he will also see time in the DH role.  He has a great presence about him and will be a great leader.  He is great with pitchers and he is a very intelligent young man."

Tigers Will Host MSC Tournament Final, Looking for Fourth Consecutive Title.

Story by Bryan Blair.

Georgetown, KY - Campbellsville came out firing in the first inning, when senior Temple Macdonald hit a three-run homer to take and keep the lead in the Tigers' 6-2 win over Georgetown in the Mid-South Conference Baseball Tournament on Saturday.  

The game was a rematch of yesterday's marathon that took 16 innings before Georgetown emerged with an 8-6 win but Saturday was different.

Campbellsville's homerun parade continued with Jason Beale's solo homerun in the seventh and two-run homer in the ninth.

Georgetown sent in reliever Kyle Lucal to help starter Steven Mavroles in the seventh inning and committed no errors on the night but couldn't stop the offensive run of their conference rival.

Campbellsville's Bryan Fuller got the win in relief of Marc Wilson, who faced 18 batters and giving up five of Georgetown's seven hits on the night.  However, Georgetown left seven runners on base and couldn't capitalize when needed.  Jeff Duda picked up his second save of the day and fourth of the season.

Campbellsville now will now play the University of the Cumberlands for the MSC Championship on Thursday, May 1 at Tiger Field in Campbellsville.

Tigers Add Two Key Players for 2008

The Tigers coaching staff is pleased to announce the signing of two players for the 2007-08 season.

Logan Smith, a catcher from Campbellsville, KY. Logan is a transfer from Western Kentucky University. He played locally for Campbellsville High School and was a selection to the East/West All-Star Game. He played last summer for Coach LeBleu on the State Champions, Post 82 Legion team. "Logan is quality catcher who will be an asset to the team, immediately. He is very strong defensively, with a strong arm. He has pop in his bat and will use all fields. His knowledge for the game is one of his strong points. He plays the game at a level far beyond his age."

Jeff Duda, a right-handed pitcher from Surrey, B.C., Canada. Jeff is a senior transfer from the 2006 NAIA World Series Champions, Lewis Clark College. He played two years at JUCO power house, Central Arizona College prior to Lewis Clark. He was a member of the Canadian Junior National Team. "Jeff adds a solid starter to the Tigers staff. He, along with seniors Morgan Carlile and Chris Lemay, will make up one of the strongest staffs in the region. He has a fastball in the low 90's and a slider, comparable to the likes of former Tiger pitcher, Donnie Johnson."

"We are very excited to add two quality players that will have an immediate impact on the success of our team." Coach Sanders.

Tigers to Play in Regional Championship

After losing earlier in the day in the winners bracket final to Cumberland University 3-2, the Tigers beat Trevecca Nazarene 8-3 to reach the championship game tomorrow.

They will face Cumberland University for the right to play in the NAIA Super Regionals. The Tigers will have to win twice in order to have the opportunity.

May 9, 2007
9th Inning Comeback

It was a pitchers duel for the majority of the game until the 9th inning. Tigers Chris Lemay and Trevecca's Barrett Brown both were dominating all night.

Trevecca were able to capitalize on a lead off walk and an error to put up a deuce in the top of the 9th inning. This gave them a 2 run lead going to the bottom of the ninth. Trojans Barrett Brown who struck out 11 batters, walked the first two hitters in the ninth. A sacrifice moved the runners to second and third. Next batter was Jason Neufeld who singled to deep short, scoring one and moving the runner to 3rd base. Jason Beale grounded to the hole at second and the Trojans were not able to turn the double play on the speedy Beale. A matter of fact the Trojans threw the ball in the dugout, giving Beale 2nd base. This brought up the #9 hitter, Nathan Quesenberry who hit a line drive off of the Trojans ace closer's ankle. The ball bounced into foul territory, giving Beale the opportunity to score from 2nd base, giving the Tigers the victory.

The victory means the Tigers will face Cumberland University in the Winners' Bracket final. The two undefeated teams will meet at 12 noon tomorrow. The winner will advance to the Region XI final and would have to be beat twice.

May 9, 2007

Tigers Blow 4-Run Lead

One strike from a three-peat of the MSC Tournament Championship, the Tigers blow 4-run lead to Lindsey Wilson. The loss means a second game to decide the MSC Tournament Championship.

Missed opportunities, offensively, early in the game allowed LWC to hang around. Walks to the bottom of the order by the pitching staff allowed them to score in the last two innings. Not challenging the bottom of the order hurt them. LWC has a couple of guys at the top who can hurt you, and did. A walk-off grand slam to the lead off hitter ended the game.

The Tigers will have to rebound tomorrow, as it is for all the marbles. Stay tuned.

Curley's Streak Ends at 21 Games


Chris Curley may be a freshman, but he has been hitting like a seasoned upperclassman. Curley, who hails from Ft. Mitchell, Kentucky is leading the Mid-South Conference in batting average for the last few weeks. On the season he is hitting .417, with 11 doubles, 4 homeruns, and 36 RBI. He has a slugging percentage of .614 and an on-base percentage of .479.

Heading into today's Mid-South doubleheader with West Virginia Tech, Curley had hit in 20 consecutive games, dating back to March 13. In the first game of today's doubleheader, he doubled in the 4th inning, extending the streak to 21 games. It ended in the second game, going 0 for 2. During the streak, he batted .487, with 7 doubles, 1 triple, 2 homeruns, and 23 RBI.

Campbellsville University hadn't kept stats on hitting streaks, but we believe this may be one of the longest in the history of the program. Congratulations Chris! Now you are ready to begin another chapter.


April 4, 2007

The game versus Trevecca Nazarene scheduled for 3pm today has been cancelled due to field conditioning stemming from last nights storm. No make up date has been scheduled.

NORTHWOODS LEAGUE ANNOUNCES

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


BORDER CATS INK FIVE CANADIANS

The Thunder Bay Border Cats announced the signing of five Canadian players for the upcoming 2007 Northwoods League season.

Morgan Carlile, Cory Hall, Chris Lemay and brothers Andrew and Temple MacDonald have all committed to play for the Border Cats this summer, bringing plenty of homegrown flavor to the roster.

“I am excited to have these five Canadian born players suiting up for us this year,” said Border Cats general manager Greg Balec. “Canadian kids are always a big hit with our fans as well as with the American players in the clubhouse” added Balec.

Carlile, a junior from Summerside, PEI, is a 6’5” 210 pound left handed pitcher with Campbellsville (KY) University whose name will ring familiar with Cats fans. Morgan was a part of the Border Cats roster that captured the 2005 Northwoods League Championship. He was also a member of the 2004 Canadian National Junior Team and was drafted by the New York Mets in the MLB Amateur Draft in 2004.

Hall, a 6’2” 215 pound freshman right handed pitcher who hails from Regina, SK, currently suits up with Gonzaga University in Spokane, WA. This past fall Cory pitched Team Canada to a bronze medal at the 2006 World Junior Baseball Championships in Sancti, Cuba, going 3-1 with a 1.13 ERA in the tournament. Hall was recently nominated in the Youth Male Category at the Saskatchewan Sports Awards and is no stranger to Port Arthur Stadium having pitched for Team Saskatchewan in the 2004 Baseball Canada Cup.

Lemay, who hails from Winnipeg, MB, is a 6’2” 185 pound junior left handed pitcher with Campbellsville (KY) University and a 33rd round draft pick of the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2005.

Temple Macdonald, a 6’1” 215 pound junior outfielder from Charlottetown, PEI also from Campbellsville (KY) University is no stranger to summer ball, having spent the 2005 summer with the Lethbridge Bulls of the Western Major Baseball League.

Andrew Macdonald, who suits up for the Niagara University Purple Eagles, is a 5’11” 205 pound infielder who hails from Charlottetown, PEI. Andrew has earned Second Team All-Conference honors in 2005 and 2006.


March 17, 2007
Carlile Throws No-No

Mid-South Conference action began yesterday and the Tigers got off to a great start in game 1. Morgan Carlile, junior, from Summerside, PEI, Canada, no-hit the Tigers of Georgetown College, striking out 5 and walking just one. Carlile had all of his pitches working, especially his change-up. He kept Georgetown hitters off balance all day, getting many easy pop-ups. Temple Macdonald provided all the offense the Tigers needed with a 3-run homerun in the 3rd inning. From then on, it was all Carlile. He now moves to 3 and 1 on the season, with an era of 1.82. The Tigers won game 1, 5-0.

The second game did not go quite as well as they were soundly beaten 12-5. Chris Curley and Jason Beale each homered in game 2, but that was all the offense they could muster. The two teams will battle again today, beginning at 12 noon. The Tigers will send 3 and 1, Chris Lemay to the mound in game 1, and 2 and 0, Jason Neufeld in game 2. The Tigers are currently 16 and 5 on the season, 1 and 1 in conference play.

Season Preview

The 07 version of Tiger Baseball will be younger and less experienced when opening day rolls around. Head Coach Beauford Sanders though has a good “feeling” about this unproven squad. “Truthfully our team chemistry and day to day approach toward practice and attention to responsibilities have been superior to last season when we had (14) seniors. We have (4) seniors this year and these four are good examples for everyone else to follow! We could experience some big bumps along the road as our season unfolds but I believe if the guys will stick together, not panic or get frustrated that we could be one of the better teams in Region XI come May 1.

First Base We have a very good battle here between Soph. Nick Smith and transfer Reid Carlson. Both are big and strong , one RH and one LH. Both are legit in DH consideration too. Reid will probably get the nod but don’t count Nick out. Both of these guys need to put up offensieve production! Curtis Payne a freshman is our No. 3 and adds another bat off our bench.

Second Base Andrew Carroll is our starting second basemen.In my opinion he was our MVP last year. Due to Andrews’ versatility and need to help us at other positions Nathan Quesenberry should contribute a lot at second base and if he improves his hitting could become an excellent all around infielder. Bryan Fuller will provide middle infield depth for us along the with his mound work.

ShortStop Hector Urbaneja is our projected starter and he needs to have a steady consistent defensive effort for us to do well this year.He has the potential but he needs to realize that! Chase Ezell and Andrew Carroll will be our primary back-ups.

Third Base Clayton Howell, if he gets his eligibility for this year, will be a big force for us defensively and offensively. He will split time between the plate and at the hot corner. Chris Curley will be a good back up as he continues to improve and may become a solid “dual” player. Matt Lepage may also see duty at third base.

Outfield Once again fleet footed Jason Neufeld will be directing traffic in CF. Jason is a fine defender with a great arm. Flanking him in RF will be “Big Mac” Temple Macdonald, Temple means so much to this team and he will anchor the middle of our line up. In left Jason Beale is our projected starter and should be our lead off hitter. Our depth will come from two freshman Taylor Reed and Chance Harker both are working hard and will have some chances to play in situations.

Designated Hitters Nick Smith, Reid Carlson, Chris Curley, and Kyle Schwartz will comprise our primary pool of candidates.All will be involved as pinch-hitters when not already in the game.

Catcher Matt Lepage did a good job as our number 1 last year and he looks to be improved this year. His hitting is better and he will play some third base.

Clayton Howell is a great catcher too and will also be seeing time at third base if eligible.We need to find ways to keep Lepage and Howell in the line-up every game. Rob Elliott, the hardest worker on this years team, will spot start occasionally and aid us tremendously with his bull pen work.

Bench Depth Good question. Depends on the attitude of the non-starters. Taylor Reid is going to have the opportunity to be our primary designated runner.Hopefully our reserves will respond and be ready when called upon.

Pitching Morgan Carlile, Jason Neufeld, and Kyle Schwartz need to have solid years in order for us to be competitive. If they don’t we are in trouble. Two more important factors will be how projected rotation guy Chris LeMay and projected closer Weston Jones perform. Both of these guys are new to the program and both will have a lot of expectations placed upon them. Another big change this year will be having two freshman who are expected to see some starts and log innings this being Brian Edelen and Chris Curley. Rounding out our staff will be Bryan Fuller, Travis Biggs, Curtis Payne, Ryan Clark, Mike Curtis, and Joe Manning.These guys must cover our mid week games and be prepared to step up when others may be off in their game on the weekends.

SUMMARY The fact is we are less experienced and younger. How do our new people respond and will Clayton Howell become eligible? “I remain optimistic. I really think that we are going to develop a good pitching staff. We are going to have to tinker with different people in different slots or roles to find what works best with our position players. The players and coaches need to be patient and flexible.” There are a lot of unknowns and that is very different form what Tiger Baseball has been the past three years. If this group will keep their focus long term the Tigers should be plenty tough at tournament time.

Our first basemen and DH have to be good RBI guys that keep opponents from pitching around Macdonald. How good will our number 3 and 4 rotation guys be? Can Weston Jones become a legitimate closer? Some interesting scenarios to be played out this season. Very interesting!
