The Washington baseball season begins on February 15, in a three-game series against UC Irvine on the road.
The Washington Huskies will be without pitcher Joe DeMers who pitched the most innings last year throwing 130.1 innings with an ERA of 2.49. Also, he was named a Gold Glove winner as the best defensive pitcher in the NCAA. A junior, DeMers was eligible for the MLB draft, where he went in the 11th round by the Oakland A’s.
Junior Jordan Jones, who started 18 games last season with an ERA of 3.98 is expected to be the ace of the staff.
