I think you could call the opening of the new era of Purdue baseball a success under Mark Wasikowski. Eric Sorenson did a preseason ranking of all 299 Division I college baseball teams and Purdue was near the bottom at No. 266 out of 299:
Projected Big 10 Finish: 13th
2016 ISR: 263
Starters Returning: 4
Weekend Starters: 1
Mid-Week Starters: 0
Key Relievers (15+inns.): 4
The Doug Schreiber era came to an end after last year’s 10-win season in West Lafayette.
