Hitters:
Returning juniors Kel Johnson, Trevor Craport and Wade Bailey, the Jackets look to continue their dominance at the plate. Both Johnson and Craport were named to the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association Preseason All-America teams; Johnson was named to the second team and Craport was listed on the third team.
Last year saw Johnson increase his batting average with the addition of a significant increase in at-bats. This year, Johnson should look to continue increasing his batting average while also returning some much needed power into the lineup.
With the loss of Matt Gonzalez, someone will have to step up in terms of run production.
