From College Baseball Daily's Big Ten Preview:

Quote

Penn State (2018 Record: 15-34, 3-21)

It was not a pretty season for Pen State baseball in 2018 as they only managed to win three conference games. They hope to get back on track in 2019.

Returning Players

Outfielder Jordan Bowersox should be back at the top of the lineup after hitting .276 a season ago with 29 runs scored and 7 stolen bases. Catcher Ryan Sloniger led the team with a .306 average in 2018 to go with 5 home runs and 31 RBI.

Dante Biasi will likely be the Friday night guy after posting a 5.20 ERA in 2018 over 62.1 innings pitched with 51 strikeouts.

Newcomers

Freshman Tyler Shingledecker (LHP) and transfer Gavin Homer (2B) will have a chance to play right away for Penn State this season. Mason Mellott was great out of the bullpen last year with a 3.18 ERA in 34 innings pitched with 28 strikeouts and 4 saves.

Outlook for 2019

“Coming off a tremendous fall from all aspects of the program. We have depth at every position defensively and a pitching staff that has the ability to dominate the strike zone with many different dynamics. Offensively we have a lot of options from speed, athleticism, and power depending on how we structure the lineup.” – Quote provided by Penn State Athletics Department
