VOL. XXXIV JANUARY 2010 NO.2

Can you evaluate Fall practice for us?It was great to see the maturity in our

returning Sophomore class. Those youngmen have taken a step forward based on ayear of maturity as well as the fact thatmany of them saw action in starting rolesas freshmen. They have really grown intoleaders on the field and in the classroom.The recruiting class has fit in nicely. Theyhave shown an ability to contribute basedon their coachability and talent.

How is the team doing academically?Our seniors are making progress toward

graduating this spring or being withinreach of their degree in one additionalsemester. This will be 16 of our last 16seniors who have achieved this. Our

Academic Progress Rating came back at990 (perfect is 1000) for the 2009season and sits at 977 as a multiyearrate. These are outstanding numbers thatwe are very proud of. We continue tobe at the forefront of college baseball inthis regard.

Can you give us your outlook on the2010 season & schedule?

We play a difficult non-conferenceschedule against teams from the Big 12,PAC 10, WCC and Big Westconferences. With 35 home gamesFresno State Baseball fans have a lot tolook forward to this spring. We feel thatreturning 3 starting pitchers assophomores, the bulk of our bullpen,and 5 starting position players weshould take a step forward toward our5th straight WAC Championship and5th straight NCAA regional.
