Bryan Oelkers earned NCAA Pitcher of the Year honors in 1982 and was part of one of college baseball's greatest staffs.
The Shockers finished second in the College World Series in their fifth season after reviving the program under coach Gene Stephenson, led by a powerful offense and the rotation of Oelkers, Erik Sonberg and Don Heinkel.
Oelkers talks about how he chose Wichita State after Missouri offered him a walk-on spot, how the Shockers coaching staff turned the Shockers into national contenders and a moment with catcher Charlie O'Brien that foreshadowed his success.
