OSU baseball team starts fresh with new coach, revamped roster
From the Columbus Dispatch:
There are only three position players and two pitchers returning to the lineup, and 13 first-year players dot an Ohio State baseball roster that has question marks from A to Z.
And, for the first time in 23 years, there will be a coach other than Bob Todd calling the shots in the dugout.
So why is right fielder Brian DeLucia so confident about the Buckeyes’ chances of being a factor in the Big Ten race, one year after they missed the conference tournament for the first time since 1996?
“The coaches and players have no doubts whatsoever in this team because we will outwork everyone in the Big Ten,” said DeLucia, a senior from Dublin who attended Watterson High School. “We’ll fight like dogs. The coaches have talked about that all the time. We’re going to raise the bar. We’ve got a new kind of energy.”
That energy includes the players singing the Buckeye Battle Cry before practices.
Ohio State will open the season under first-year coach Greg Beals against Cincinnati in the Big East-Big Ten Challenge on Friday in Tampa, Fla. The trip continues against Louisville on Saturday and St. John’s on Sunday in Clearwater, Fla. Complete story.
