I look forward to seeing if he can develop more. As one of the older players on the team, it'd be nice if he could fill a leadership role. |

Oregon State's 3 returning Seniors provide a free lunch for the Beaver coaching staff.
Whatever Grants in Financial Aid Preston, Jake and Andy receive does not count against the 11.7 scholarship allowance by the NCAA.
The Beavs return 3 experienced players, all with 4 years in the OSU system. Game playing contribution will be frosting on the cake. The presence of their maturity, value of their leadership and benefit of their mentoring is the essence of their major contribution to Oregon State's baseball program in 2021.
I look for at least two players to take strong leadership roles next season. Andy Armstrong and Kevin Abel.

Getting him back improves our defense and bunting ability immediately.

When it's late and you're protecting a lead, you protect the lines against anything hit going for extra bases, but that's not where the majority of the game is played. The game is played in the middle of the diamond and to coin the old phase, "to play good defense you have to be strong up the middle."
2 Claunch
4 Dukart
6 Armstrong
8 McMahan
That's not 2018, but it's a solid group.
