Gonzaga should present a challenge for the Beaver batsmen on Saturday and Sunday. They will bring the heat with some high end secondary stuff from a returning pitching staff that won a WCC title in 2021. Gabe Hughes is their ace that has a 4 pitch mix and can run his fastball into the mid 90s. He is also a talented hitter and position player. William Kepner is a side-winder that will touch 98 and Trystan Vrieling reaches 97 with a wicked breaking pitch behind his FB. The projected closer is Brody Jesse who will touch 99 mph. Gonzaga has finished 1st or 2nd in the WCC in the last 5 full seasons and been to 3 Regionals including last year.
Go Beavs

Sounds like we might get an early answer on whether the Beavers have fixed the swing and miss problem that plagued them last season.

I seem to recall that Surprise wasn't that bad to the Beavs. It was when we got back home and in the conference that our hitting woes began. I think it's the weather. We need to spring for a dome. |
