3 pitchers to keep an eye on for the 2019 UT baseball team

The UT Baseball team is gearing up for another exciting season, and there are a few pitchers that fans should keep an eye on.

First is redshirt senior Brandon Workman. Workman has been a stalwart on the team for the past few years, and he’s expected to be a key player again this season. He’s a workhorse who can eat up innings, and he’s got great control of his pitches.

Next is junior Kyle Johnston. Johnston came on strong towards the end of last season, and he’s expected to be even better this year. He’s got a great fastball and good off-speed pitches that can keep hitters guessing.

Finally, there’s freshman Matt Waldron. Waldron is one of the most promising young pitchers on the team, and he’s expected to make an impact right away. He’s got great stuff, and he knows how to pitch effectively.

All three of these pitchers will be fun to Watch This Season and they could be Key Players in helping the UT baseball team have another successful year.

The story behind the 2019 UT baseball team’s name and logo

The University of Texas Baseball team’s name and logo for the 2019 season was inspired by the school’s sports history and culture. The name, “Longhorns,” was chosen because of the animal’s association with Texas and the university. The logo, a silhouette of a longhorn steer, was created to represent the team’s strength, determination and Texas pride.

A preview of the 2019 UT baseball season

The UT Baseball Roster is set and we now know who will be suiting up for the Longhorns this season. There are a few new faces on the team, but the core group of players remains intact. Here’s a preview of what to expect from the 2019 UT baseball team

The pitching staff is led by junior right-hander Bryce Elder who was named the Big 12 Preseason Pitcher of the Year. Elder posted a 7-4 record with a 3.35 ERA in 2018 and is expected to be one of the top pitchers in the conference again this season. Fellow right-hander Blaine Knight is also back after a solid 2018 campaign in which he went 9-3 with a 3.28 ERA. The Longhorns will also have left-hander Nick Lodolo, who was drafted 41st overall by the Cincinnati Reds in last year’s MLB Draft but decided to return to school for his junior season.

The offense will be highlighted by senior first baseman Kody Clemens, who was named the Big 12 Preseason Player of the Year. Clemens hit .351 with 21 Home Runs and 69 RBIs last season and is one of the best power hitters in the conference. Sophomore third baseman Zach Zubia should also be a key contributor after hitting .298 with 10 home runs as a freshman. The Longhorns will also have Junior College transfer Masen Hibbeler manning center field. Hibbeler hit . 429 with nine home runs and 46 RBIs at Orange Coast College last season and should provide a spark at the top of the lineup.
