Hell of a year from Heller and the boys. Tied school record for number of wins and came up a little short armed in the regionals. The suspensions didn't help matters, but Heller did one heck of a job making sure that didn't become a distraction within the locker room.
Here's a look at what we know is returning (obviously we don't know who might transfer.). Bolded are not draft eligible, so will return.
Pitchers:
Brody Brecht - So - top line starter
Max Tramontana - Fr. - no stats, so likely redshirted?
Aaron Savary - Fr
Marcus Morgan - So - top line starter
Jack Whitlock - So
Chas Wheatley - So - only 10.2 innings
Cade Obermueller - Fr
Drew Proskovec - Fr - only 1.2 innings
Jacob Henderson - RsJr. - only pitched 14 innings (CAN HER RETURN???)
Zack Voelker - RsSo. - draft eligible, but likely not drafted
Ty Langenberg - Jr - likely gone in draft
Jack Young - Jr - only pitched 5 innings
Luke Llewellyn - Jr - low ERA for reliever - possibly gone?
Will Christopherson - RsJr - good stats - could be 3rd starter or could be gone
Nick Gottila - Jr - only 16 innings
Caleb Strack - RsJr - only 1 inning
Benjamin DeTaeye - RSJr - 0 innings
Keaton Anthony - RsSo - CAN HE EVEN RETURN???
We have two top end starters returning with Brecht and Morgan. Will need to find 3rd weekend starter - but a great duo to build around. Not many arms in the bullpen though. Obvioulsy will need to pick up a few arms with transfers. Christopheron was huge this year....need to find another guy like that.
