Let’s start with the young guy.
Marc Lidd, Freshman
Lidd, on top of posting a 2.92 ERA in 12.1 innings pitched at Crean Lutheran High School in Irvine, was the No. 12 third baseman in the state of California. He appeared at the plate 114 times in last year’s full 30 games, batting .453 with eight home runs and 42 RBIs. His OPS was an impressive 1.368. Lidd is an offensive powerhouse at third base and instant offense once he adjusts to the college game.
Alika Williams, Sophomore
Alika Williams got the start in 54 of 55 games last year, playing games at both shortstop and second base.
