From Baseball America:
Heath (Kansas): What do you think of Wichita State's class, do you see any impact bats? The offense was a big issue last year, I have seen a few scrimmages so far and there seems to be a little more punch.
Aaron Fitt: Well, we did not give Wichita credit for Johnny Coy in our rankings since he was a four-year transfer (from Arizona State), but I do think he'll be a valuable addition — he's extremely athletic and has plus raw power potential. Nathan Goro should hit — he's got a quick bat and some pop, and he's also a smooth infielder. Preston Springer brings some more power potential (he led the Jayhawk League in homers in 2008), Micah Green adds some athleticism though his bat is raw, and Travis Bennett had a very good freshman year at Northern Iowa last year. So yes, there is some help for the offense, but of course the jewel of this class is a pitcher in Tobin Mateychik, who is extremely loose and projectable and already pitches at 88-92 and touches 94.
