hskrfan4life Posted January 10, 2019 Author Share Posted January 10, 2019 From College Baseball Daily's Big Ten Preview: Quote Illinois (2018 Record: 33-20, 15-9) Illinois had a great 2018 season and advanced to the semifinals of the Big Ten Tournament as the four seed, but apparently they didn’t do enough for the committee to put them in the postseason. Returning Players “We have a lot of players back from a very good team. We have high expectations for 2019. Our entire starting rotation is back, our middle infield is back. Those are important pieces as we move forward to the spring.” — Head Coach Dan Hartleb Shortstop Ben Troike hit .299 last year with 39 runs scored, 4 home runs, and 30 RBI. Second baseman Michael Massey hit .326 in 2018 with 34 runs scored, 17 doubles, 6 home runs, and 46 RBI. Quinn Snarskis posted a 2.84 ERA in 73 innings pitched with 34 strikeouts in 2018. Ty Weber had a 3.84 ERA in 82 innings pitched with 53 strikeouts. Andy Fisher posted a 3.96 ERA in 84 innings pitched with 64 strikeouts. Newcomers “We are very happy with our incoming freshman class. They were ranked in the Top 25 recruiting classes by Baseball America and D1Baseball. Branden Comia hit two home runs during our foreign trip and Cam McDonald and Jacob Campbell both could contribute in the field. We have many returning pitchers but also some talented freshmen that will get innings.” — Coach Hartleb Outlook for 2019 “We have high expectations for the program. The goal is to win championships. We just had a great foreign trip to Curaçao and Aruba, which hopefully propels us to successful season.” – Coach Hartleb Quote Predicted Order to Finish: 1. Indiana 2. Michigan 3. Minnesota 4.
