Lots of folks on this forum will give a crap about this but this is just 25 guys from NCAA DI baseball. That's a lot of players to choose from and that, to me, is pretty damn good.


No UT guy
No PAC10 player
No C-USA player
No CAA or SoCon or SBC

Even if one dumps the bogus DH part (yes, I'm old school), this is still WAY impressive. The flexibility this allows coaches, especially in terms of swapping players back and forth for specialized pitching matchups without depleting the bench is immeasurable. Too bad coaches don't think of this more when recruiting.

Thanks for letting us know, CatMom!

McVaney was almost exclusively the DH last year and pitched. He rarely saw field time. He didn't see very much, at all, as a freshman (2009) and Ty stuck him in as DH about 14 games in, last year (2010), out of desperation, I think.
He played in the Cali Summer League and they stuck him in the outfield, so Ty went with it too. While I'm with you on the DH, Jeff does DH when they plan to use him more than 1 inning and we don't lose his bat. He has not not started only about 3 games in LF. And they have brought him in from LF, several times, to pitch 2-3 innings.
Our worst problem this year, then, has been a consistent DH.

i didn't get the past ncaa ticket so i was really sad about this....
