Infielders
The 2017 TAMUCC baseball roster is filled with young, yet experienced players. This year’s team will have plenty of firepower with eight returning starters.
The infield will feature a veteran presence with six returnees. Seniors Braden Westbrook and Jordan Ross will man the corner field positions Westbrook, who was second on the team in homeruns last season, will move from first base to third base this season. Ross will start his fourth year as the Islanders’ shortstop. Joining them in the middle of the infield will be junior second baseman Matt Mitchell and freshman first baseman Elijah Trail. Mitchell returns after leading the team in batting average and on-base percentage last season. Trail comes to TAMUCC after a stellar High School career where he was a two-time all-state selection.
Rounding out the infield is senior utility player Nick Johansen who can play any position on the field. Johansen provides valuable experience and leadership for this young team.
