1989 WISCONSIN BASEIBAII PREVIEW BADGERS REACH FOR PLAY-OFFS

The " promised land. " For a collegiate baseball player, the

ultimate thrill is playing in the College World Series.

To get a chance at grabbing the brass ring, the Badgers first must qualify for the Big Ten play-offs. After missi ng a play-off berth by one game last season, Wisconsin returns a veteran team that wants one last chance to prove that it belongs.

Head coach Steve Land will be counting on 20 returning letterwinners, including six starters, to lead the Badgers to the promised land of college basebal l. Despite the loss of three of the team's top four starting p itchers, Wisconsin will contend for play-off status th is season.

1988 Record: 28-27 Overall; 15-13 Big Ten (5th)

" One of our strengths will be the experience we have in our every day lineup, " Land said.

The Badgers return a sol id offense that averaged six runs a game, set a school record for home runs and has improved its team speed. It includes four fifth-year seniors in the starting l ineup and experience throughout the batting order.

LETIERWINNERS LOST: 7 Pitchers: Bob Eckl (0·0),

Tom Fischer (6-6) , Scott Fuller (5-3) Butch McKeon (2·3)

Pitcher/I nfielder: Tim Roman (3-21 .297-7-31)

Infielder: Mike Noelke (.289-10-42) Outfielder: Mike Barker (.311-3-19)

INFIELD: VETERAN SQUAD LEADS THE PACK

Wisconsin returns a strong nucleus in the infield, including three seniors and a junior in the starting l ineup.

Leading the way is senior first baseman JIM WILSON. He started last season in the outfield but moved to first base during the Big Ten opening series against Indiana. A candidate for post­season honors, including Academic All ­America, Wilson hit seven home runs in 50 games.

Second base is in the hands of senior DENNIS CAMPION. A left-handed hitter, he has starting experie nce at second base, shortstop and third base . One of

2

the team 's most versati le athletes, Campion could also see starts at shortstop and third base.

Junior BRIAN WOLFF enters his second season as the starting shortstop. He suffered a sophomore slump in the field but hit fo ur home runs as the number nine hitter in the lineup.

" Wolff has the potential to excel at shortstop, " Land said. " He can make the routine plays consistently."

ERIC LIEBENSTEIN is the starter at third base. He returns after missing the fina l 36 games a year ago with a broken wrist. Liebenstein started 19 games at first base last season but has exper ience at the hot corner.

"We need to have Eric healthy for a full season," Land said. " He provides the experience we need to be successful. ''

Liebenstein is the back-up at first base. Freshma n TOM O'NEILL will see action backin~l up Wolff and Campion, whi le red-shirt freshman DUSTY FREITAG could see action at thi rd base.

LETIERWIUNERS RETURNING: 4 Dennis Cannplon (.241-0-7) Eric lleben,stein (.264-4-11) Jim Wilson (.308-7-31) Brian Wolff (.271-4-26)

OUTFIELD: POWE~~ & SPEED A KEY COMBO

" Our outfie ld should be one of our strong points this season with two all-Big Ten players leading the way," Land said. " We have the potential to excel there this season."

A 1988 first team all-Big Ten selection, SCOTT CEPICKY returns as the starter in right field. A candidate for All-America and all-Big Ten honors, he is Wisconsin's caree r RBI and s ingle-season and career home run leader.

" The return of Cepicky for his final season provides us with a solid number three hitter and a fine defensive player," Land said." He will be our cornerstone in right field."

Cepicky led the team and was 10th in the Big Ten in hitting. He earned the team's " Most Valuable Player" and "Most Valuable Hitter" awards after lead­ing the Badgers in six offensive catego­ries. He also hit .500 w ith runners in scoring position and led UW outfielders with four assists.

Also return ing in the starting lineup will be senior JOHN BYCE. He missed the first 17 games last season while he was with the Badgers' WCHA champion­ship hockey team. He is scheduled to start in left fie ld when he joins the team following the 1989 hockey season. Byce earned all-Big Ten honors in 1987 and hit .350 in his first 12 games a year ago.

Sophomore RODNEY MYERS and jun­ior RICK DOBROWSKI wi ll platoon in left field unti l Byce returns. Myers adds power to the lineup and is also a starti ng pitcher. Dobrowski is a contact hitter with good speed.

" Myers showed us he can hi t with power, " Land said. " He will also get some at bats as a designated hitter."

Freshman TOM VILET wi ll start in cen­ter field . A contact hitter wi th good speed. Land likes his abi li t ies o n defense and at the plate.

"Vile! can really go after the ball ."' Land said. "He's a contact hitter with good speed and could be our lead-off hitter. "

Junior ERIC BECKERMAN, red-shirt freshman DUSTY FREITAG and freshman ROSS KOPFER will challenge for playing time.

LETIERWINNERS RETURNING: 4 Eric Beckerman (.429-0·2) John Byce (.266-3-18) Scott Cepicky (.387-13-55) Rick Dobrowski (.255-1-11)

CATCHING: SOLID DEPTH

The Badgers are solid behind the plate with senior CRAIG BROWN and jun­ior CAREY SADOWSKI. Brown earned third team all-Big Ten honors last season and wi ll captain the squad for the second consecutive season.

" Brown is a proven Big Ten player and a leader," Land said . " He has the experience to help our young pitch ing staff matu re for the Big Ten season .

A candidate for 1989 Academic Al l­America and all-Big Ten honors, Brown has a strong and accurate throwing arm and can hit for average and power.

Sadowski saw limi ted action last sea­son but will see more time behind the plate this season . He will also see action at designated hi tter.

"Sadowski will get a chance to con­tribute early with our spring trip sched­ule," Land said. "He has a strong throw­ing arm and has worked hard to earn a spot in our every day l ineup."

Also providing depth are senior MIKE BLASKOWSKI and red-shirt freshman DUSTY FREITAG.

LETTERWINNERS RETURNING: 3 Mike Blaskowski (.333-0-1) Craig Brown (.280-5-33) Carey Sadowski (.196-1-8)

PITCHING: READY TO MAKE AN IMPACT

The Badgers deep rotation of 1988 is just a memory as three of the team 's top four starters are gone. But despite the loss of drafted players Tom Fischer and Scott Fuller, the cupboard isn't bare.

Junior right-hander PAUL QUANTRILL is the team's ace. He fini shed 11th in the conference in earned run average and completed six of his seven starts.

"Quantri ll wants the ball every four days," Land says. " He's a tremendous competitor who has worked hard to im­prove the command of his breaking pitches. He's ready to take his place among the nation's best pitchers."

Senior lefl-hander LANCE PAINTER is listed as the number two starter. A proven collegiate hurler, Painter had an excellent Fal l practice.

"Painter consistently throws strikes, " Land says. " He should be a real plus in our starting rotation.

"After Quantril l and Painter, we have a lot of pitchers who are close in abil ity,' Land added. " One of the questions to an­swer concerns the consistency of the pitching staff . Our pi tchers have the po­tential to compete at this level but just lack collegiate experience."

RODNEY MYERS is listed as the team's third starter. He wil l also see ac­tion in the outfield and as a designated hitter. A power pitcher, Myers is ready to make his mark this season.

" He has great arm strength and just needs an opportuni ty to pitch on a regu­lar basis," Land said .

Red-shirt sophomore MARK HAMIL­TON, senior SCOTT PELOWSKI and freshman MAFlK FLANAGAN wi ll battle for the fourth starting role.

Hamilton appeared in only one game after suffering an injury during the team 's spring trip. However, he had a 2-0 record and a 0.93 earned run average in three rel ief appearances in 1987 before he was sidelined by i llness. His forte is keeping hitters off balance and throwing strikes.

Pelowski has battled back from inju­r ies to contend for starting or long relief roles. Flanagan is a highly touted new­comer who could see action in long o r short relief, too.

Other contHnders looking to break into the rotation include right-handers GREG LYNCH, DARIN SLANG and NATE DURST.

The bullpen holds the key for success in 1989. Senior right-hander TODD BORCHARDT and sophomore KARL KLARE will contend for the role of stop­per. Left-hander BRIAN DOUDNA could see action in long rel ief and short rel ief.

One of the top re rnlng pitchers In the Big Ten, P•u Ou•ntri/1 will 11nchor the B11dg r .,.II In '19.

Flanagan, ERIC LIEBENSTEIN, DUSTY FREITAG and Myers could also see ac­tion in short relief.

LETTERWINNERS RETURNING: 9 Darin Blang (7.62, 0-1) Todd Borchardt (5.81, 0-2) Brian Doudna (4.80, 1-2) Mark Hamilton (7. 71, 0-0) Greg Lynch (6.17, 1-0) Rodney Myers (9.36, 1-0) Lance Painter (1 0.21, 1-5) ScoH Pelowski (6.62, 1-0) Paul Quantrill (4.65, 7-3)

BADGERS READY FOR THE CHALLENGE

The Badgers' 60-game schedule is highlighted by a pair of ear ly season trips to Or lando, Fla. and New Orleans, La. and a 12-game spring trip to San Diego, California.

The Badgers wi ll again play a 28-game conference schedule that wi ll de­termine the regular season champion. The top four teams in the final regular season standings wi ll then meet at the site of the school with the best record fo r a double-elimination tournament. The play-off champion will receive an auto­matic bid to the NCAA tournament.

Wisconsin plays four games each at Indiana, Iowa and Northwestern as as well as a mid-week twinbi ll at Il l inois. The Badgers wi ll play four games each against Michigan, Minnesota and Ohio State at Guy Lowman Field. Wisconsin also hosts Il linois in a mid-week double­header.

" The emphasis is on the conference portion of the schedule and that's where it should be, " Land said . "By playing 28 games, we could have a league cham­pion and a play-off champi on l ike we did last season . Another plus is that any four-game series is not as important as it was under the old 16-game format."

Michigan and Minnesota have domi­nated the conference throughout the 1980s and won 't falter in 1989. With more than half the Big Ten teams breaking in new pitching staffs, the basebal l season wi ll mirror the 1988-89 basketball season in its competitiveness.

" Our goal is to finish among the top four teams so that we can qualify for the play-offs, " Land said. "With a veteran every day l ineup available, we should be able to hold our own. But our pitching staff wil l determine our chances of mak­ing it to the Big Ten play-offs and the NCAA tournament. "

WISCONSIN ATHLETIC O~FFICIALS

A.L. '.ADE' SPONBERG Athletic Director

A new era of University of Wisconsin athlet­ics began in 1987 as the school welcomed Ath­letic Director A.L. " Ade" Sponberg.

Sponberg has made an immediate impact on the Wisconsin athletic scene. He has been instrumental in instituting a comprehensive marketing program for the ath letic department and has made the " business" side of the pro­gram a top priority. He has been a key figure in the addition of the Dave McClain Athletic Facility to the department and has been on a seemmgly non-stop " meet the public'' crusade since first coming to Madison.

Among the football coaches Sponberg hired while athletic director at North Dakota State were Jim Wacker, now head coach at Texas Christian University, and current Wisconsin head coach Don Morton.

Prior to his period of service at NDSU, Ade was athletic director at Augustana College in Sioux Falls, South Dakota from 1968-73.

He has also been heavily involved in NCAA (National Collegiate Ath letic Association) gov­ernance and policymaking throughout his dis­tinguished career as an administrator.

ter's degree in Physical Education from Mankato State University in 1963, and earned a bache lo r's degree in Physical Education from Gustavus Adolphus College in 1958.

It is located north of the Camp Randal l Memor ial Sports Center and adjacent to Camp Randall Stadium. A state-of-the-art faci li ty , it is one of the finest indoor training complexes in the country.

The 76,380-square foot main floor fea­tures an artificial turf practice area. It provides a pleasant environment for practice sessions during in-season in­clement weather. It is used by the Bad­gers for infield and outfie ld dri l ls, as well as long-throwing practice and intrasquad scrimmages.

A 2,700 square ft. viewing and recep­tion area is housed on the main level. The building's 64,320-squa re foot lower level houses: locke rs; showers; a sauna and steam room ; a rehabi litation pool; an 8,500 square foot state-of-the-art, comput­erized weig ht room; eq uipment storage area; training facili ties; offices; and a me­dia room.

In Camp Randal l Stad ium, athletes use the weight training area which features Naut ilus equipment, free weights and stereo music in a spacious, full y­carpeted room.

Under the gu idance of Ken Ellett and Jim Hyne, the UW strength program is recognized as one of the most successful and complete in the Big Ten. For baseball , it includes a pre-season conditioning and weight train ing program, an in-season maintenance program, as wel l as summer and fall programs. The baseball team normally uses the strength train ing facility two hours per day, three days per week.

Camp Randall's 4,000 square foot Wisconsin weight room contains some of the finest training equipment on the market today. The re are 38,000 pounds of free weights, 21 olymp ic bars , 21 free­weight stations, seven squat stations (of which four are electr ic squat racks), 10 bench press stations, four wall-pully cable stations, five pieces of Keiser equ ipment (based on pneumatic pressure and used especially for high-speed trai ning) , and two full set dumbbells (5-100 pounds, in five-pound increments).

THE HISTORY OF WISCONSIN BASEBAll

1870 - The University of Wisconsin baseball program begins when a group of young, dia­mond enthusiasts band together to form a campus club.

April 30, 1870- The club, named the Mendotas, defeats the Capital City Club in the first and highest scoring game in UW history, 53-18.

1891 - The baseball, football and tennis as­sociations along with the boat club merge to form the first University Athletic Association. Before 1891, baseball teams had been fielded in only seven of the previous 11 years.

1906 - Although there was no organized team in 1906, the University has fielded a team every year since. However, after a 5-1 start, the rest of the 1917 season was cancelled by the faculty after the United States entered the first World War.

1909- The Badgers are the first Wisconsin athletic team to travel extensively. A trip to Japan covering 13,500 miles in 74 days was successful as the Badgers won five of nine games against the leading Japanese nines.

Spring 1912- Wisconsin embarks on the first spring training trip taken by a UW team. The Badgers' first game, on March 12th against the University of Missouri at Columbia, ended in a 3-3 tie when the game was called because of darkness.

1921 - Guy Loman's Badgers lose to Michi­gan, 9-8, in 18 innings, the longest game ever by a Badger nine.

1930- Wisconsin wins the Western Confer­ence with a 9-1 record and is 15-7 overall.

April 5, 1940- Art "Dynie" Mansfield be­comes Wisconsin's head baseball coach. He compiled a 441-352-5 overall record (.556) and a 213-180-2 mark (.542) in the Big Ten.

Aprll11, 1941 -John Saxer fires Wiscon­sin's first no-hitter as he shuts out DeKalb Teachers College, 8-0.
