Wichita State baseball bringing next-man-up mentality to the 2019 season

After losing 10 players to Major League Baseball’s amateur draft last summer, Wichita State coach Todd Butler was asked what he’s most encouraged with on his young team for this season.

Before answering, Butler corrected the question.

“I wouldn’t say we’re a young team,” the Shockers baseball coach said. “We might not have the third pick in the draft or a second-rounder or five top-10-rounders, but you have to remember it took time for those guys to work to get to those spots. Now we have guys who have worked behind those guys, so they’ve seen it.
