UCI baseball roster The Players to Watch This Season

The 2019 UCI baseball team has a lot of potential. With a mix of experienced and young players the Anteaters have the talent to compete for a conference title Here are some of the Key Players to Watch This Season

Pitchers

Senior right-hander Ryan Cooper is the Anteaters’ ace and one of the best pitchers in the conference. He’s coming off a 2018 season in which he posted a 2.62 ERA and struck out 109 batters in 102 innings. Cooper should be UCI’s go-to guy in big games.

Junior right-hander Andre Pallante is another player to watch on the mound. He was UCI’s closer last season and is coming off a year in which he posted a 0.93 ERA and struck out 32 batters in 24 innings. Pallante will be counted on to pitched key innings again this season.

Infielders

Sophomore infielder Cole Kreuter is one of UCI’s top hitters. He batted .340 with eight home runs and 36 RBIs last season and should be one of the best power hitters in the conference again this year. Kreuter will likely play third base or second base for UCI this season.

Junior infielderJCporter is another player to keep an eye on offensively. He batted .RECAST with four home runs and 32 RBIs last year, and he’ll likely hit near the top of UCI’s lineup again this season. Porter will play shortstop or second base for UCI this year. Outfielders

Sophomore outfielder Riley Smith is an exciting young player who made an impact as a freshman last season. He batted .273 with two home runs 16 RBIs and nine stolen bases Smith will likely be UCI’s leadoff hitter this season and will play center field

The Infield: Who to keep an eye on

The infield is one of the most important parts of a Baseball Team and the UCI roster this season is packed with talent. Here are some of the players to keep an eye on in the infield this season:

First base: redshirt junior Garrett Stubbs is a Returning All-American and one of the best hitters on the team. He’s also an excellent defender, and he’ll be a key player for UCI this season.

Second base: junior Kristian Gayday is a transfer from Iowa State who brings a lot of athleticism to the position. He’s a good hitter and he has the potential to be an excellent defender.

Shortstop: senior Chris Rabago is a three-year starter who is one of the best Defensive Players on the team. He’s not a big hitter, but he’s a steady presence in the infield.

Third base: junior Evan Cassolato is a transfer from Oklahoma State who brings a lot of power to the position. He’s still adjusting to third base, but he has the potential to be a very good player at the position.

The Outfield: Who will be patrolling the grass?

The outfield is one of the most important parts of any baseball team – they are responsible for catching fly balls and stopping runners from getting extra bases. This season, the UCI baseball team has some talented outfielders who are sure to make an impact.

Leading the charge is junior Johnathan Perez, who was named Big West Conference Player of the Year last season. He is a talented hitter with a great arm, and he will be patrolling center field for the Anteaters this season.

Joining Perez in the outfield will be seniors Mikey Diekroeger and Ryan Anderson. Diekroeger is a versatile player who can play all three field positions and he hits for power and average. Anderson is a speedster who can track down fly balls and stolen bases, and he will be manning left field for UCI this year.

Rounding out the outfield is freshman phenom Gavin Grant, who was recruited from across the country to play for UCI. He is an athletic player with a lot of potential, and he will be starting in right field as a rookie.

Keep an eye on these four players as they patrol the outfield for UCI this season – they are sure to make an impact on the game!

The Pitchers: Who will be toeing the rubber?

This year’s UCI baseball team is stacked with talent, and that starts on the mound. Who will be toeing the rubber for the Anteaters this season? Here are three pitchers to keep an eye on.

Sophomore right-hander John parrish appeared in 14 games last season, posting a 3-1 record and a 3.38 ERA. He also struck out 36 batters in 46 innings of work. Parrish will be a key piece of the UCI pitching staff this season.

Senior left-hander Andre Pallante is coming off a strong junior campaign in which he compiled a 4-2 record and a 2.86 ERA. Pallante will be the ace of the UCI pitching staff this season.

Junior right-hander Miles Peacock is another pitcher to keep an eye on this season. Peacock was solid last season, posting a 5-4 record and a 3.97 ERA in 16 appearances (15 starts). He struck out 71 batters in 89 innings of work last season. Peacock will be looking to build on his success from last season as he takes on a bigger role in the UCI pitching rotation this year.

The Catchers: Who will be behind the plate?

This season, the UCI Baseball Team will have a strong core of catchers. This position is key in both governing the defense and providing a consistent bat in the lineup. Here are the catchers that will be suiting up for UCI this season:

-Player 1: A sophomore who played in 30 games last season and had a batting average of .295. He will be looking to build on his success from last season and become a key player for UCI.

-Player 2: A junior who missed last season due to injury. He is healthy now and ready to compete for a starting spot. He is a solid defender with a good arm, and he also has some pop in his bat.

-Player 3: A senior who has been a starter for UCI for the past two seasons. He is a vocal leader on the team and provides a steadying presence behind the plate. He is not the biggest or strongest player but he makes up for it with his smarts and his willingness to work hard.
