Illinois manager Dan Hartleb addressed the media on Monday morning to preview the team's season-opening series against the No. 19 Tulane Green Waves. The skipper announced that Illinois' starting rotation for the weekend will consist of junior RHP Cody Sedlock, sophomore LHP Doug Hayes, and senior RHP Andrew Mamlic.
Sedlock, the ace of the staff, is one of the top MLB prospects in the Midwest, and he was recently named a 'Player to Watch' by the Big Ten Conference. In 2015, the six-foot-four righty went 4-0 with a 4.02 ERA.
Both Hayes and Mamlic will be making their first career starts for the Orange and Blue this week after appearing as relievers a year ago.
