Over the years in fastball, pitching has been the dominant facâ€" tor. However, recent crackdowns in enforecâ€" ing the pitching "rules‘" has resulted in the advantage swingâ€" ing slightly more to the batter. Gone are the days when hurlers could consistently tossâ€" noâ€"hitters or one or twoâ€"hitters, and record 15â€"18 strikeouts in a nineâ€"inning game.

A gazelleâ€"like outfield includes junior grads Dana Saunders, Randy Harbach and Steve Uberig, along with sophomore Gary Macâ€" Gregor, and newcomer John Cress, a three year allâ€"star third base backâ€"catcher, has all the traits of a great catcher. He‘s simply consistently unspectaâ€" cular, yet extremely reliable, and this takes a large burden off the pitcher‘s shoalders.
