Opening Weekend The Gophers began the season 3-1 with wins over Utah (twice) and Utah Valley, before falling to No. 5 Oregon State, 8-7, in the finale of the neutral site tournament in Surprise, Ariz. Minnesota s 3-1 start is its best since 2014 (4-0). 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. Time for Liftoff Sophomore Toby Hanson provided the pop in the lineup last weekend when he slugged after launching two homers and two doubles. The slugger drilled his home runs over the 350-foot fence in right field in games against Utah and Oregon State. Doing It All Junior Matt Fiedler was the Friday night starter and paced Minnesota in the 6-2 victory over Utah. Fiedler tossed 5.2 innings and allowed just a pair of hits and one run while striking out three. At the plate, he went 3-for-4 and hit an RBI single. Well-Balanced In the first four contests, 13 different players recorded at least one hit and nine of those picked up multiple base knocks. Matt Fiedler and Toby Hanson led the way with nine and eight hits, respectively, while Terrin Vavra (six) and Austin Athmann (five) followed close behind. Reaching Safely Dating back to last season, sophomore Micah Coffey has gotten on base in his last eight games, including the first four of the 2016 season by virtue of four hits, two walks and one hit by pitch. Freshman Impact Six freshmen saw action in the Gophers first set of games, with four of them making at least one start in the lineup. Riley Smith and Terrin Vavra each touted batting clips over.500, while Ben Mezzenga made his presence known on the basepaths with two stolen bases. Nick Lackney threw 1.1 innings of shutout ball in a relief appearance against Utah. PROBABLE LINEUP Pos.

The Gophers have seen little of the Big South Conference, but have been successful, going 3-0 in all against the league. About the Fighting Camels After starting the season 2-0, dropped its last two contests against Miami (Ohio) and Duke. Infielder Anthony Lopez paces the club with a.375 average. Outfielder Brian Taylor is slugging at a.667 clip with a pair of doubles and a triple on the season. On the mound, Erik Dowse and Nick Thayer have yet to surrender an earned run and each have four-plus strikeouts. As a staff, has limitied opponents to a.181 batting clip. 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. Last Campaign Minnesota went 21-30, marking just the second losing season under head coach John Anderson s tenure (34 seasons). Following a record in 2008, the Gophers completed one of the top turnarounds in the nation, going and making the NCAA Regional the following season. Loaded Schedule Minnesota plays seven teams who made the NCAA Tournament last year in Oregon State, Missouri State, Iowa, Michigan, Maryland, Illinois and Indiana. The Gophers also play 12 teams who won 30-plus games in 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. BY THE NUMBERS Minnesota Hitting Avg Fiedler Top Hitter... Lopez R H BB HR SB-ATT Pitching 2,83...ERA Sawyer Top Starter... Thayer IP ER SO BB H 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. 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. 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 Siebert Siebert 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.
