Here is why the MAKE WSU GREAT AGAIN could occur
1. Two potential All-American hitters with Jenista and Bohm (should have plenty of confidence from their success in the Cape),
2. Redshirt Freshman Pitchers
LHP Frosh (RS) Trent Allen - 2.51 ERA/0.91 Whip - named to all-star in his summer ballR league.
RHP Frosh (RS) Preston Minor - 3.00 ERA/1.44 WHIP - name to all-star team in his summer ball league
RHP Frosh (RS) Joe Dittmar - No. 8 pitcher in Illinois, Top 500 player in HS, fastball 88 (92 mph max)
LHP Frosh (RS) Alex Segal - Drafted out of H.S., 88 mph fastball, No. 4 ranked pitchers in Arizona
3. Returning Pitchers
RHP Jr Codi Heur - has improved each year, had 8.1 K/9, needs to improve his control and cut down his BB and HBP
RHP Jr Robby Evans - 8.7 K/9, 4.33 ERA, needs to improve his whip.
RHP Sr Adam Keller - 8.3 K/9, 3.86 ERA
RHP Sr Chanler Sanburn - 10.5 K/9, 0.220 opp BAvg, if he can cut down his walks he can really improve his 4.58 ERA
4. Incoming Frosh
Tyler Davis - two way player, hit 0.353 and 4 HR in H.S., 1.43 ERA as a pitcher
Paxton Wallace - No. 2 player in Arkansas, played 3rd and pitched in H.S., has 91 mph fastball
Garrett Kocis - Ranked No. 1 player in Nebraska, Honorable mention perfect game all-American
Ross Cadena - No. 3 ranked catcher in Texas (36 overall Texas), Honorable mention perfect game all-American, 1st Team Texas
Bryce McDermott - 2.01s pop time
Logan Easley - No. 2 middle infielder Arkansas, No. 6 overall in Arkansas, HM perfect game all-American
Blake Burd - OF, No. 26 ranked in Oklahoma by perfect game. Only concern is his durability, multitude of injuries in H.S. kept him from his full potential
Ryan Stuempfig - Another HM perfect game, 1st team Texas, 90 mph fast ball, ranked 26 in Texas
Jacob Lindemann - 89-91 MPH fastball, No. 3 ranked RHP in WI
WSU just needs 2-3 to make an impact as frosh.
5. Solid Returning players
WSU just need these guys to put up these type of numbers or improve them
Trey Vickers - 4 HR, 0.296/0.351/0.398
Jordan Boyer - 3 HR, 0.295/0.379/0.448
6. Emerging Returning players
It would help if some returning players who have not had stellar careers emerge this year and reach their full potential. I have no candidates - maybe somebody else does.
7. There is an O'Brien on the team - Mason O'Brien
8. In the American Conference. No. 4th ranked conference last year. Plenty of opportunities for quality wins.
