The Mountaineers (26-23, 8-13 Big 12) conclude the regular season at home for just the second time in their six years in the Big 12 Conference. WVU enters the final weekend of the regular season with a 14-6 mark at Monongalia County Ballpark and has won four of its five weekend series at home in 2018.

The Bears (30-18, 11-10 Big 12), one of the hottest teams in the country, come to Morgantown having won 16 of their last 18 games and four consecutive weekend series. Baylor is ranked No. 27 by Collegiate Baseball.

Three games separate WVU and BU in the Big 12 standings. West Virginia is 8-13 and in seventh place, while Baylor is 11-10 and in fifth place. Both teams have clinched a Big 12 Championship berth and will play for postseason seeding this weekend.

Kyle Gray’s hit streak was snapped at 23 games last Friday, the longest hit streak by a Mountaineer since 2009. A day later, Gray hit his 14th home run of the year and 17th of his career. His 14 homers are tied for sixth-most in a single season in program history and are the most by a Mountaineer since Jedd Gyorko’s team-record-tying 19 in 2010. Additionally, Darius Hill extended his reached-base streak to 25 games over the weekend.

After continuing his hot hitting at the plate, Tyler Doanes was named the Big 12 Newcomer of the Week and the WVU Student-Athlete of the Week on Monday. Doanes led the Mountaineers with a .600 batting average last weekend at TCU and hit his first career home run, an inside-the-parker, while posting a team-leading 1.000 slugging percentage. Doanes led the Big 12 among freshmen with a .500 batting average last week and ranked No. 7 overall with a .563 on-base percentage, both team-leading totals.

Quick Hits: Key Team Notes• The 2018 season marks the 126th year of baseball at West Virginia. Founded in 1892, WVU owns an all-time record of 2,157-1,551-19. The

Mountaineers are the second-oldest program in the Big 12.• Coach Randy Mazey is in his sixth season at the helm and owns a 186-150 record in Morgantown. He is the fifth coach in team history to eclipse

the 100-win mark and the second to accomplish the feat in his first four seasons. Mazey is 373-310-2 in his career.• Due to a pair of rain-postponed games, West Virginia played 21 of its first 24 games, including its first 15, on the road. Six of the first seven

weeks of the season were spent away from home. However, following the first 24 games, 16 of the Mountaineers’ next 18 games were at home. Then, the final 11 games see five home games and six road contests.

• Kyle Gray had a 23-game hit streak, the longest by a Mountaineer since 2009, while he has 14 home runs, tied for sixth-most in a single season in program history. Gray’s 14 homers are the most by a Mountaineer since Jedd Gyorko’s team-record-tying 19 in 2010.

• Four Mountaineers were named to the Academic All-Big 12 Team: Darius Hill (First Team), Shane Ennis, Chase Illig and Kade Strowd (Second Team)• Tyler Doanes earned Big 12 Newcomer of the Week and WVU Student-Athlete of the Week accolades on May 14 after leading all Big 12

freshmen with a .500 batting average the previous week. He added a 1.000 slugging percentage and hit his first career home run at TCU.• Gray hit four home runs in WVU’s series at Kansas and was named the Big 12 Player of the Week, one of Collegiate Baseball’s National Players

West Virginia is 9-7 all-time against Baylor, following a road series win and a victory at the Big 12 Championship last year. WVU is 4-1 at home, 4-5 in Waco and 1-1 at a neutral site. All 16 games have come since 2013, when the Mountaineers joined the Big 12.

WVU lost the first series, in 2013 in Waco, and followed with a sweep of a two-game series in Charleston, West Virginia, in 2014. Baylor then earned a 9-4 win at the 2014 Big 12 Championship. West Virginia lost a road series in 2015 before a series win at Monongalia County Ballpark in 2016.

WVU went 3-1 against BU last year, with a series win to open Big 12 play at then-No. 10 Baylor, from March 17-19, and a Big 12 Championship victory.• In a 7-1 win on March 17, BJ Myers

allowed one run on five hits in 8.0 innings, as the offense scored a run in the first, took a 3-0 lead in the third and never trailed. Myers held Baylor hitless in four of the first five innings. Offensively, all but one starter had a hit and five had an RBI.

• The Mountaineers won the series with a back-and-forth, 6-5 win on March 18. WVU had runners reach base in all but one inning and again never trailed. West Virginia led 3-0 early, but Baylor chipped away and tied the game at 5-5 in the seventh. WVU answered in the ninth, thanks to a two-out RBI single.

• WVU fell short of a series sweep with a 5-1 loss on March 19. Marques Inman had three hits, going 3-4, and four freshmen relievers combined to throw 3.2 shutout innings, allowing just three hits.

• WVU opened the Big 12 Championship with an 11-1, run-rule win. West Virginia scored seven runs in the first inning and Isaiah Kearns threw an 8.0-inning complete game, allowing one run on three hits with six strikeouts and no walks.

Last Time Out: Weekend at TCUWest Virginia traveled to Fort Worth, Texas, for a series at TCU, from May 11-13. WVU won the opener, 4-3, before TCU claimed the next two, 10-4 and 8-5. Friday’s win was West Virginia’s first-ever at TCU and was WVU’s third in its last four games in the series.• West Virginia scored the go-ahead run in the eighth inning to beat TCU in the series opener

on Friday, 4-3. WVU took a 1-0 lead in the first inning and led 3-0 in the middle of the sixth, but TCU tied the game at 3-3 in the bottom of the sixth. Darius Hill drove in the game’s first run and the game-winner and had a career-high-tying four hits and two RBIs. Tristen Hudson earned his second career win in as many games, allowing just one hit in 2.1 innings, and Alek Manoah earned his second save of the year. Kyle Gray’s hit streak was snapped at 23 games, the longest hit streak by a Mountaineer since 2009.

• TCU evened the series the next day with a 10-4 win. West Virginia trailed 5-0 after three innings but rallied with a three-run top of the fourth to cut the deficit to two. However, TCU responded with two runs in the bottom half of the fourth. Gray hit his 14th home run of the season and Ivan Gonzalez hit his first of the year.

• In Sunday’s finale, TCU won the series with an 8-5 victory.

He posted a .828 slugging percentage and a .551 on-base percentage with 18 walks while stealing nine bases in nine attempts.

• His 14 home runs are tied for sixth-most in a single season in program history and the most since Jedd Gyorko hit a school-record-tying 19 in 2010.

Gray had at least two hits, an RBI and a run scored in every game from April 30-May 6 and hit four home runs in three games at Kansas.

The next day, Gray hit a career-high-tying two home runs with three RBIs before closing the week with another two-hit day with his fourth homer in three days on Sunday.

• In Big 12 play, Gray leads the conference with a .403 batting average and .818 slugging percentage, is second with 63 total bases, third with 31 hits and eight home runs, fourth with 23 runs scored, fifth with a .472 on-base percentage and sixth with eight doubles.

In three games on the weekend, Zarbnisky was second in the Big 12 with a .571 batting average and a .600 on-base percentage, tied for sixth with eight hits, including at least one in every game, and had a double and a triple while going 2-for-2 on the basepaths and not committing an error in the field.

Brophy Named Big 12 Player of the WeekFollowing a three-home run, eight-RBI performance on Feb. 24, sophomore Kevin Brophy was named the Big 12 Player of the Week.• Brophy hit three home runs, tied for second-most in a single game

in team history, with eight RBIs, tied for fifth-most in the Mountaineer record books and two shy of the record, in WVU’s 10-8 win over Illinois. He is the third WVU player to hit at least three home runs and drive in eight or more runs in a single game.

• Along with his first career grand slam in the seventh inning to break a 6-6 tie, Brophy hit a three-run home run in the first inning and a solo homer in the sixth.

• The three home runs and eight RBIs are the most by a Mountaineer since Grant Buckner had three homers and a program-record 10 RBIs on May 8, 2010. Brophy is one of six Mountaineers all-time to hit three or more home runs in a game and one of six to have eight or more RBIs.

• In WVU’s second game of the day, vs. VCU, Brophy hit his fourth homer of the day. In WVU’s four games in Conway, South Carolina, he hit .375 with a 1.125 on-base percentage and 18 total bases.

A Look Back on 2017West Virginia had a record-breaking 2017 season, highlighted by an NCAA Tournament appearance, an All-American, a pair of MLB draft picks, a historical appearance in the national rankings and a win at PNC Park in Pittsburgh.• While celebrating their 125th year of baseball, the Mountaineers

posted a 36-26 record, eclipsing the 35-win plateau for the second consecutive year. The 62 games marked the most in a single season in team history.

• West Virginia earned an NCAA Tournament berth for the 12th time in program history, playing in the Winston-Salem Regional. Seeded second, the Mountaineers made their first tournament appearance since 1996 and were an at-large selection for the first time in team history.

• WVU went 2-2 and advanced to the regional final for the third time and first since 1982. The Mountaineers opened with a 9-1 win over Maryland on June 2 before a 4-3 loss to top-seeded and 13th-ranked Wake Forest, the host of the four-team regional, the following day. West Virginia followed with an 8-5 win over Maryland on June 4 to avoid elimination. Later that evening, WVU’s run came to an end with a 12-8 loss to Wake.

• WVU finished fourth in the Big 12, the No. 1-ranked RPI conference in the country, with a 12-12 record. The Mountaineers advanced to the Big 12 Championship semifinals for the second straight year.

• On April 17, West Virginia entered the national rankings for the first time since 1982. WVU was ranked nationally in five of the six major polls for the first time in program history. WVU debuted at No. 21 by Baseball America and D1 Baseball, marking the first time that West Virginia made an appearance in either poll. The NCBWA and USA Today Coaches Poll also voted WVU into the Top 25 for the first time ever, while Collegiate Baseball Newspaper had the Mountaineers at No. 25, the first time they were in that poll since the final rankings in 1982, when they were No. 16.

• Coach Randy Mazey concluded his fifth season at the helm. Following the season, he was named the East Regional Coach of the Year by the American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA) and the Chuck Tanner College Coach of the Year Award by the Rotary Club of Pittsburgh.

• Designated hitter/right-handed pitcher Braden Zarbnisky was named an All-American by the NCBWA, as he was selected to the third team as a utility player. He became the 17th All-American in program history and was awarded the 15th total All-America accolade in Mazey’s five years. Zarbnisky earned several additional regional and national honors. The NCBWA District II Player of the Year and a John Olerud Two-Way Player of the Year Award finalist, he also was named to the All-Big 12 First Team and the Big 12 All-Tournament Team.

• Headlined by All-Big 12 First Team honoree Braden Zarbnisky, West Virginia earned 12 All-Big 12 honors, the most in team history. Kyle Davis, Michael Grove and BJ Myers were named to the second team, while Cole Austin, Jackson Cramer, Jimmy Galusky, Kyle Gray and Darius Hill, Sam Kessler and Brandon White earned honorable mention. Alek Manoah was on the All-Freshman Team. In total, WVU’s entire infield and outfield, three starting pitchers and one reliever were honored, along with Zarbnisky’s first team accolades as a utility player.

• Additionally, for the second consecutive year, WVU earned a team-record-tying four Big 12 All-Tournament Team accolades. Cramer, Hill, Zarbnisky and Isaiah Kearns were recognized. WVU’s four honors were the second-most amongst Big 12 schools.

• Among the individual records broken, Cramer and Davis each played in a school-record 62 games. Gray walked a team-record 44 times and Jackson Sigman made 36 appearances, the most in a single season in WVU history.

• Grove was named the NCBWA National Pitcher of the Week, the Big 12 Pitcher of the Week and one of the National Players of the Week by Collegiate Baseball Newspaper, on April 10, after taking a perfect game into the eighth inning in WVU’s 8-0 win against Kansas on April 8.

• The Mountaineers played in front of record-breaking crowds throughout the 2017 season at Monongalia County Ballpark. A total of 40,616 fans in 22 games, for an average of 1,846 per game, filled the stands in 2017, both program records. Additionally, 3,415 saw the Mountaineers face No. 3 TCU on April 15, the largest home crowd in team history.

• West Virginia played its first-ever game at PNC Park on May 10, a 4-2 victory over Penn State in the first collegiate baseball game at the home of the Pittsburgh Pirates.

• A pair of Mountaineers were selected in the 2017 MLB Draft, becoming the 85th and 86th draft selections in team history. Davis was drafted by the Houston Astros in the 15th round and Cramer was picked in the 35th round by the Washington Nationals. WVU has had 16 draft picks in Mazey’s five seasons, the most in a five-year stretch in team history.

• Along with Davis and Cramer, Sigman signed a free agent contract with the Kansas City Royals organization.

Season PreviewA year after making history, the West Virginia University baseball team hasraised expectations, increased national attention and an eagerness to keep the momentum going.

The Mountaineers, ranked No. 22 in the D1 Baseball Preseason Top 25 and receiving votes in four additional polls, enter the 2018 season with sights set on a return trip to the NCAA Tournament and beyond. WVU made the tournament for the first time in 21 years in 2017, and a loss in the regional final has fueled the fire for 23 returning lettermen and 12 newcomers.

“When you lose your last game, the summer and fall is going to be pretty long,” sixth-year coach Randy Mazey said. “So, we feel like we’re coming off a great year. We’ve set the bar pretty high in this program. Things have changed a little bit, as far as I’m concerned, in Mountaineer baseball.”

The run to the 2017 NCAA Tournament was the latest, and biggest, of many changes around this program. It began in 2012-13, with the move to the Big 12 Conference and Mazey’s arrival in Morgantown. The 2015 season saw the opening of Monongalia County Ballpark, one of the finest collegiate baseball facilities in the country. WVU just missed an NCAA Tournament berth in 2016, with an extra-inning loss in the Big 12 Championship title game.

Now, after entering the national rankings last year for the first time since 1982 and appearing in five of the six major polls for the first time ever, WVU is ranked in the preseason for the first time since the 1960s. National media outlets have started to take notice of West Virginia, featuring Mountaineers on preseason watch lists and position rankings and putting the team in postseason conversations.

All this while home attendance records have been broken on a yearly basis.

Things have changed, but a lot is still the same from 2017, as a strong nucleus from last year’s squad returns.

Thirteen position players and 12 pitchers are back, while losing just three position players and five pitchers. Six of nine starting position players return, and everyone has extensive starting experience.

“These guys have been through a lot,” Mazey said. “A lot of them have been playing every day since they were freshmen, and they have lost some really tough games and won some really big games. That’s going to help us when we get into those situations, close games in the ninth inning. When the new guys in the program don’t know how to react, the older guys have been through it. Hopefully, that’s going to account for some wins this year.”

The group that returns includes every start at catcher, center field and right field, all but one start at second base, 58 of 62 starts at shortstop and 57 starts at designated hitter. On the mound, every start and save is back.

In total, nine of a program-record 12 players who earned All-Big 12 Team honors last season return.

That includes junior right-handed pitcher/outfielder Braden Zarbnisky, a Preseason All-America First Team honoree by the National Collegiate Baseball Writer’s Association (NCBWA). Last year, Zarbnisky was named to the NCBWA All-America Third Team, the NCBWA District II Player of the Year, a John Olerud Two-Way Player of the Year Award finalist and an All-Big 12 First Team honoree as a sophomore.

Added to that is a highly-touted group of 12 newcomers, including two SEC transfers and three junior college transfers, and Mazey has a team he likes.

“I love this team,” Mazey said. “We have speed at the top and the bottom. We have guys in the middle who can run the ball out of the yard. We can do some different things and play an up-tempo game. We’re going to win some games that way, we’re going to win some games by slugging the ball, we’re going to win some games by pitching, and we’re going to win some games defensively. I don’t think we’re a one-dimensional team by any stretch of the imagination. It’s nice to know that you have a team that’s capable of winning in different ways. We’ve got a lot of options.”

One of many things that stands out about the 2018 Mountaineers is its depth and versatility. That will help fill the void left by the three major losses from last year’s team, who all played in the minor leagues last summer.

Jackson Cramer started all but three games at first base last year and hit a team-high 11 home runs before getting drafted in the 35th round by the Washington Nationals. Left fielder Kyle Davis started every game as a junior, hitting 10 home runs with a team-best .526 slugging percentage, and was drafted in the 15th round by the Houston Astros. Jackson Sigman made a school-record 36 appearances on the mound and notched a team-high-tying six wins before graduating and signing a free-agent contract with the Kansas City Royals.

The trio left big shoes to fill, but several players returning from injury or waiting for their chance expect to be strong options to take those spots.

In the field, Mazey has four catchers, 10 infielders and six outfielders to choose from. On the mound, it’s 18 right-handed pitchers and four lefties.

The 36-man roster includes seven freshmen, 15 sophomores, 11 juniors and two seniors. Eight Mountaineers come from Texas, and another four from New Jersey, Ohio and West Virginia. Three are from Florida and New York, while two come to WVU from Georgia and Pennsylvania. Alabama, Colorado, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia are all represented on the roster once.

Position-by-Position BreakdownPITCHINGThe pitching staff is headlined by returning weekend right-handed starters BJ Myers and Alek Manoah, who combined for 26 starts a season ago, and Zarbnisky, who had a team-best six saves and six wins.

“I think we have some depth on this team that we haven’t had in the past,” Mazey said. “I think we can go 10 or 12 guys deep and still put somebody out there that can get good hitters out. So, I’m excited about the depth, but we need somebody on this team to step up and win 10 games. If you don’t have that guy, then it’s hard to have a great year. Somebody’s got to take the bull by the horns and be that guy.”

Myers and Manoah, who both earned All-Big 12 Team accolades a year ago, are expected to lead the starting rotation. Myers, a senior, led the team with 16 starts, 73 strikeouts and 97.2 innings pitched. He has 35 career starts and tied for the team lead with five wins as a junior.

Manoah, a sophomore, made 19 appearances with 10 starts. He started his freshman season as a reliever, transitioned to closer before moving to starter, going from WVU’s fifth starter up to second in a span of five starts in less than four weeks. In 55.2 innings, he posted a 3.07 ERA, fourth-best among all pitchers with more than 3.0 innings pitched and second among pitchers with at least three starts.

There are several contenders to finish out the rotation. Sophomore righty Isaiah Kearns was strong down the stretch in 2017, highlighted by an eight-inning complete game performance in the Big 12 Championship. He allowed one run on three hits against Baylor to earn all-tournament team accolades. Sophomore right-hander Kade Strowd made 17 appearances with eight starts last year, while redshirt junior Conner Dotson returns from an arm injury that sidelined him after he made six starts in 2017.

“You have Myers and Manoah who have pitched in this role last year,” Mazey said. “So, it looks like they’re going to be starting on the weekends, and that third spot is up for grabs. Isaiah Kearns pitched really well going down the stretch last year, as did Kade Strowd. We have some options.”

In the bullpen, Zarbnisky returns after making 23 relief appearances last year, though he also is an option to start after making four starts as a freshman. Sophomore Sam Kessler was third on the team with 15 appearances in relief in 2017, while Riley Troutt came out of the bullpen 13 times. Myers and Dotson also have experience in relief.

“We have (Zarbnisky) back there, who had six saves last year, but he also had six wins,” Mazey said. “So, we’re toying with the idea of making him a starter. Sam Kessler had a great year pitching out of the bullpen, and BJ Myers has been a starter and a reliever in his career. Conner Dotson is the same way. We’ll just see how it shakes out. It’s early and pitch counts aren’t very high yet, but a lot of guys are going to get opportunities to finish games. The guy that takes more pride in that role is going to end up being that guy.”

There also are eight newcomers on the mound. That includes freshmen Tristen Hudson, the 2016 Mountain Lakes Region Player of the Year, and Jackson Wolf, a Perfect Game Underclass All-America Honorable Mention in 2016. Junior Christian Young was named an NJCAA All-America First

Team last season at Niagara CC.

Another big addition in the pitching is assistant coach Dave Serrano. One of the most respected and accomplished coaches in collegiate baseball, Serrano has won 446 games and has taken two different teams to the College World Series in 13 years as a head coach. In 23 years as a coach at the Division I level, Serrano has helped guide his teams to seven College World Series appearances and 16 NCAA Tournaments, including the 2004 national title at Cal State Fullerton as an assistant coach.

“They’re buying in to what he’s teaching, so I think he’s got their attention,” Mazey said of Serrano. “Whether that be his background or his pedigree or the fact that he’s won national championships and been on Team USA. You get instant buy-in even before you meet him, so I think they’re buying in to the success that he’s had and his ability. I think he’s coached 34 pitchers who have gone on to pitch in the big leagues, so how can you not buy in? If you don’t, that’s your fault, it’s not his.”

INFIELDJuniors Jimmy Galusky and Kyle Gray bring a wealth of experience and solid fielding to the infield. Galusky has started 115 of a possible 120 career games, all at shortstop, while Gray has started 104 of 120 games, the majority at second base.

An Arthurdale, West Virginia, native, Galusky was named to the All-Big 12 Honorable Mention team a year ago after hitting .244 with 48 hits, seven doubles, 26 RBIs, 22 walks and eight stolen bases. He added a team-best 12 sacrifice bunts.

Gray also was named to the All-Big 12 Honorable Mention Team. He led the team with 44 walks and six triples and finished third with a .393 on-base percentage, while hitting .260 with nine doubles and 31 RBIs.

“Jimmy Galusky and Kyle Gray, in the middle of the infield, have worked as hard as two middle infielders can at playing together,” Mazey said. “If there’s any justice in this world, then both of those guys will have really good years for us, because our message to the team this year has been ‘you’ll get what you deserve and what you’ve earned,’ and those guys deserve to have a great year, based on how hard they’ve worked at it.”

At the corner infield positions, Mazey has several options to fill roles that were taken by veterans a year ago.

At first base, redshirt sophomore Marques Inman returns after suffering a season-ending injury early in 2017, along with sophomore Kevin Brophy, who played in 25 games, primarily off the bench. Both put up impressive numbers last year, as Inman hit .351 with a .544 slugging percentage in 57 at-bats, while Brophy hit .300 in 40 at-bats.

“Manoah’s a two-way guy who can play first base,” Mazey said. “He’s got great feel around the bag. Inman is back, and he’s working every day to become a great first baseman, and Brophy has shown some great things offensively. So, that’s a position that he’s been working really hard at.”

There also are a number of strong options at third base. Freshman Tyler Doanes is expected to see playing time, along with junior Ivan Gonzalez, who has plenty of experience at the hot corner as well as behind the plate.

A freshman All-American in 2016, Gonzalez has made 87 career starts, 26 at third base. Twenty of his 37 starts as a freshman came at third base in the final month of the season.

Doanes, from Fayetteville, Georgia, helped his team to a pair of state championship appearances, while serving as team captain in 2016 and 17.

“Ivan can always go out there when he’s not catching and play a pretty good third base for us,” Mazey added. “We have a new guy, Tyler Doanes, who might see some action over there.

“He’s just a gamer. He can play all three infield positions. He can hit anywhere in the lineup. He can handle the bat. He’s got a great mentality, great work ethic. He’s going to be, before he leaves here, a tremendous, tremendous player. As far as opening day lineup, I don’t know how that’s going to shake up yet. If he’s in the lineup, I feel pretty good about it and if he’s not in the lineup, I’ll feel pretty good about his mentality. He’s trying to get in the lineup. He’s just a real pleasure of a kid to be around, and I’m really glad that we have him in the program.”

OUTFIELDThe outfield is anchored by a wealth of experience in junior Darius Hill in right and sophomore Brandon White in center. Plenty of options are available in left, including Zarbnisky and sophomore TJ Lake.

Hill will once again patrol right field, a post he has held for all but one game of his career. Named to five freshman All-America teams in 2016, Hill was an All-Big 12 Honorable Mention Team honoree as a sophomore, leading the team with 75 hits and tying for the team lead with 46 RBIs and 14 doubles. His .307 batting average was fourth best on the Mountaineers. Hill also has a knack for clutch hits, with a team-best seven game-winning hits last year, while also recording 14 hits, five RBIs and eight runs scored in WVU’s eight postseason contests.

He is joined by White in center, also an All-Big 12 Honorable Mention Team honoree in 2017. As a freshman, White played in 55 games with 50 starts, all in center field. He led the team with 13 stolen bases and hit .277 with 44 hits and 21 walks. His speed and ability to track down balls in center also led to several dazzling catches, including one that made SportsCenter’s Top 10 plays.

The Mountaineers’ speed on the base paths, along with several players who can lay down a bunt, provides an added wrinkle to the lineup.

“It’s letting guys steal bases but, at the same time, if the guy on base is disturbing the pitcher and making him pitch differently, you get a lot better pitches to hit too,”, Mazey said of WVU’s speed and impact on the team’s hitting. “Even if we don’t steal more bases, I think we can create the impression that we’re going to play that way and get a lot better pitches to hit. We might have a game where we don’t steal any bases, but the fact that we can run a little bit really helped us win the game.”

In left, Zarbnisky and Lake have both seen time at the position, either as a starter or a defensive replacement. Zarbnisky hit a team-best .336 in 125 at-bats, with 42 hits and 12 stolen bases in 12 attempts. Lake played in 45 games with 17 starts, hitting .233 with 20 total bases and six steals. Like Zarbnisky, Kearns also can play the outfield when he’s not on the mound.

“Kearns, he’s a two-way guy and has tremendous power,” Mazey added. “He’s going to see some days in left field. Zarbnisky, you have to manage him as a two-way guy. He can play left when he’s not pitching. TJ Lake is a great defensive outfielder, and he’s going to get a lot of games under his belt. So, we have a couple options out there.”

CATCHERBehind the plate is two familiar faces in Gonzalez and sophomore Chase Illig. Gonzalez started 40 games behind the plate as a sophomore, while Illig played the remaining 22.

A freshman All-American in 2016, Gonzalez was named to the Johnny Bench Award Watch List a season ago. He finished second on the team with a .317 batting average and fourth with a .444 slugging percentage. With a career batting average of .342, Gonzalez’s bat is expected to find its way into the lineup, even if he’s not behind the plate.

Illig, from Bluefield, West Virginia, hit .242 as a freshman with three home runs and a .396 slugging percentage. He is coming off a strong summer season with the Bellingham Bells, where he broke the West Coast League record with 15 home runs.

“We’ve got an option behind the plate because Chase Illig had a great summer and is very capable,” Mazey said. “If we need to get him in the lineup, then that can push Pudge (Ivan Gonzalez) to third base. It just depends on who the matchup is on that particular day how we’re going to go, but you’re going to see those guys split time quite a bit.”
