Quote

Arizona State (2018 Record: 23-32, 13-17)

The Sun Devils missed the NCAA Tournament for the second straight year after finishing seventh in the Pac-12.

Returning Players

First baseman Spencer Torkelson will lead the offensive charge after hitting .320 last season with 59 runs scored, 12 doubles, 25 home runs, and 53 RBI. Catcher Lyle Lin hit .312 a season ago with 30 runs scored, 16 doubles, and a pair of home runs. Carter Aldrete also returns to the lineup after hitting .293 in 2018 with 10 doubles, 3 home runs, and 31 RBI.

Alec Marsh should lead the weekend rotation after posting a 3.89 ERA last year in 71.2 innings pitched with 64 strikeouts. Sam Romero will try to bounce back from a 6.18 ERA in 2018 over 67 innings with 61 strikeouts. Boyd Vander Kooi was solid out of the bullpen last season with a 3.00 ERA in 36 innings with 35 strikeouts.

Outlook for 2019

Arizona State has some key players coming back in 2019, and they those players continue to improve we could see them push towards the top of the Pac-12.
