Penn State baseball with big shoes to fill after departures of Justin Williams, Gavin Homer

Despite finishing with more losses than wins once again, there were many bright spots from last year's Penn State team on the offensive side.

While the lineup for the Nittany Lions featured mostly underclassmen, the impact some of the veterans had could lead to more improvement in the team for future years.

Two big names who have now departed from the middle of the lineup for the Nittany Lions are second baseman Gavin Homer and third baseman Justin Williams.

Williams was the only non-pitcher for Penn State to be selected in the MLB Draft last month, going in the 17th round to the Houston Astros.
