hskrfan4life Posted January 24, 2019 Author Share Posted January 24, 2019 Oregon State is selected to finish 2nd in the Pac-12 according to College Baseball Daily: Quote Oregon State (2018 Record: 55-12-1, 20-9-1) There really never was a question of who was the best team in college baseball last season. Oregon State is one of few teams in baseball who everyone knew would win it all and they did. Returning Players Catcher Adley Rutschman returns as possibly the best player in the country and potential number one overall pick in the upcoming MLB Draft. Last season he hit .408 with 56 runs scored, 22 doubles, 9 home runs, and 83 RBI. Tyler Malone hit .278 last year with 8 home runs and 32 RBI. Those two, along with Zack Taylor, are the only ones who returns from the starting lineup in their championship winning game. Bryce Fehmel returns for his senior season after posting a 3.19 ERA in 2018 over 113 innings pitched with 64 strikeouts. Kevin Abel had a spectacular freshman season with a 2.88 ERA in 81.1 innings pitched with 108 strikeouts. Jake Mulholland should be the team’s closer again after posting a 2.20 ERA in 2018 over 45 innings pitched with 42 strikeouts and 16 saves. Brandon Eisert had a 2.53 ERA in 57 innings last season with 52 strikeouts and 5 saves. Outlook for 2019 It’s hard not to see this team taking a small step back in 2019 with all they are losing from the lineup. But they still figure to have one of the best pitching staffs in the country. Quote Predicted Order to Finish: 1. UCLA 2. Oregon State 3. Stanford 4. Washington 5. Cal 6. Arizona 7. Arizona State 8. Oregon 9. USC 10. Utah 11. Washington State 1 Quote Link to comment
