Expectations were high for BYU Baseball last season. After a successful 2017 campaign, the Cougars were picked to win the West Coast Conference in 2018.
Instead they took dead last. BYU finished with a 22-28 record, going 11-16 in conference.
In the Cougars’ defense, they were a relatively young team, with only four seniors that saw significant playing time.
Those four are gone for 2019, as are Daniel Schneeman and David Clawson. Both were selected in this year’s MLB draft, and both elected to turn pro.
There are core players coming back, such as Brock Hale, Keaton Kringlen, Brian Hsu, Mitch McIntyre, Drew Zimmerman, Jordan Wood, and Jake Suddreth.
