St. Program Upgrades Minnesota is receiving two upgrades this season. Its new state-of-the-art locker room has been ready for use for a few weeks and the new hitting facility will open midway through the season, right next to Siebert Field. Lead the Way The Gophers have five senior leaders on the team in Jordan Jess, Ty McDevitt, Dan Motl, Dalton Sawyer and Connor Schaefbauer. Jess and McDevitt figure to be key in back end of the bullpen, while Sawyer returns to the starting rotation for the second season. Both Motl and Schaefbauer should be everyday players at centerfield and second base, respectively. Lefties Galore Minnesota boasts 16 left-handed hitters on its roster this season. That number is the highest among Power-5 schools, with Texas (15), Ohio State (14) and Virginia (14) the next closest. Doing It All Junior Matt Fiedler returns after a sensational 2015 season in which he was named to the John Olerud Award Watch List - given to the best two-way player in the country. He was recently named a Summer Collegiate All-American by Perfect Game.

Rose IP ER SO BB H All-Time Series Minnesota is 4-4 versus the likes of Oregon State and Utah all-time and will face for the first time. The Gophers won three of the first four meetings with the Beavers, dating back to 1990, but last time Minnesota took on the Oregon State was in 2001 when the team was swept on the road. The Gophers and Utes have only dueled one time in the past, with Minnesota winning 4-1 at the Dairy Queen Classic in Although the Gophers and Wolverines have not played, Minnesota is 27-7 all-time against teams from the WAC. About the Utes Utah wrapped up a season last year. The lone tie came against Oregon State in a 15-inning battle in Corvallis, Ore. The Utes are led at the plate by outfielder Wyler Smith, who hit.329 with six doubles, a triple and 14 RBI in Starting pitcher Jason Rose returns after tossing 84.0 innings with a 3.54 ERA and 68 strikeouts. About the Wolverines went last campaign and finished sixth in the WAC. The Wolverines lost 15 players who saw extensive action, but return their all four of their starting rotation. Senior outfielders Craig Brinkerhoff and Mark Kruger paced the team at plate last year with batting averages of.299 and.290, respectively. Kruger added 32 RBI and a team-high 12 doubles. In the bullpen, right-hander Kyle Valgardson made 25 appearances and notched six saves matched with a 3.32 ERA. About the Beavers Oregon State has made the postseason seven straight seasons, including last year s regional in Dallas, Texas. The Beavers return infielder/catcher KJ Harrison, who hit.309 with 10 home runs and 60 RBI. Oregon State brings back four pitchers who maintained a sub-4.00 ERA and made 10-plus appearances in Returning starter Drew Rasmussen went 7-4 with a 2.80 ERA and threw two complete-game shutouts last season. Drafted Minnesota has one player who was taken in the 2015 MLB Draft in southpaw Dalton Sawyer. He was chosen in the 27th round by the Minnesota Twins.

Morrison R H BB HR SB-ATT Pitching (2015) ERA Beddes Top Starter.Rasmussen IP ER SO BB H Back at the Helm Head coach John Anderson is back for his 35th season as the lead-man for the Minnesota baseball program. Through the three-plus decades of being in charge, Anderson has amassed 1,172 wins - which is the highest win total in Big Ten and program history. His win total currently sits in the top-30 all-time among collegiate head coaches. Anderson has coached 262 Academic All-Big Ten selections, six All-Americans and 18 players who made the major leagues. Consistent Staff Minnesota has one of the longest-tenured staffs in the country as the group has stayed together for 17 seasons. No-No The Gophers return two of the three pitchers who combined to throw one of only 12 no-hitters in the nation last season in a game at Creighton. Dalton Sawyer got the start and went 7.0 innings, while Tyler Hanson worked a clean 8th inning before current Mariners prospect Lance Thonvold closed the door. Talented Frosh The coaching staff brought in nine freshmen who all can contribute right away in Eddie Estrada, Ben Humbert, Jordan Kozicky, Nick Lackney, Cole McDevitt, Ben Mezzenga, Riley Smith, Jake Stevenson and Terrin Vavra fill out the class. Estrada was the No. 1 overall recruit from the state of Minnesota last year; Vavra is the son of current Minnesota Twins bench coach, Joe Vavra; and McDevitt is the younger brother of senior pitcher Ty. Minnesota Heavy The 2016 roster is highlighted by 66 percent of the players from inside the boarders of the state of Minnesota. Twenty-one players feature the highest number, with Wisconsin and Illinois close behind with four and three, respectively. Another Year at Seibert Seibert Field, which has been Minnesota baseball s home for the past three seasons after being built in The Gophers will have two homes beginning in 2017 as the team will use U.S. Bank Stadium for games in the early months of the season. / GopherSports.com QUICK FACTS University Information Location...Minneapolis, Minn.
