Baseball season starts Friday with a home series against Okie State. I will publish position previews once per day on: 1) Starting Pitching, 2) Relief Pitching, 3) Infield, 4) Outfield, and 5) Catchers.
Last year, our pitching rotation looked set in stone before the season, while our infield seemed more in flux. This year, you can put your thing down, flip it, and reverse it, as the infield may well be our biggest strength, both defensively and offensively.
That’s not to say there won’t be competition for positions, or that the infield—specifically 2nd and 1st base—will not be an open competition for most of the year.
