Just a brief
aside: we have just posted our first biweekly
USA Pro Stats Update of the season; for those of you who
are relatively new to the site, this feature basically takes a
statistical look at all of the former Team USA players (both
National & Junior teamers) who are in the professional ranks;
it's very similar to our college Weekly Recap you see here;
that's it, another outstanding free tool for you to use! Now on
to this weeks college update...

San Diego
junior ace Brian Matusz just barely missed the 100 K mark
in this past week's outing; Matusz tossed 7IP of 6 hit shutout
ball, fanning 9 to give him a season total of 99 K's en route to
his 9th straight win; there's talk that Matusz is now on a short
list of players that could be selected #1 overall since Tampa
Bay doesn't have much of a need for a corner infielder now and
Pedro Alvarez is represented by Scott Boras...

There was a
nice article in the most recent issue of Baseball America
regarding Texas Tech junior Roger Kieschnick; it
basically says he's a stud; Kieschnick moved into 2nd place for
the HR lead this week as he blasted his 13th of the year...

SMOKIN': South
Carolina junior Justin Smoak had an absolutely sick week
going 10-for-20 with 2 2B's and 5 HR's (yes FIVE) and 11 RBI's;
Smoak is now in sole possession of the HR lead and also leads
SLG% with a 0.802! Now that's just plain sick...
-
Wright State
junior Jeremy Hamilton has had a couple of nice weeks as
well; Hamilton took sole possession of the lead in AVG last week
and even improved dramatically this past week; Hamilton was
15-for-28 with 4 2B's and triple and 2 HR's to go along with 10
RBI's to give him a season AVG of 0.441, up from 0.414 last
week; he's 40-for-69 over the previous 3 weeks; his OBP of 0.541
is also a group-leading figure...

In 6.1 IP,
Rice senior Cole St. Clair notched 11 K's to go with his
2 saves; St. Clair allowed only 1 earned run on 4 hits and
walked just one; now that he's fully healthy, St. Clair needs a
strong showing to close out the season to improve his draft
stock; he walked away from a 7th round selection by the Indians
last year to return to college for his senior year...
-
Oregon State
freshman Kevin Rhoderick gave up just his 2nd earned run
of the year this past week; in 2 appearances, Rhoderick logged
2.1 IP and fanned 2 while giving up 3 hits...

much more that we just can't get to, but the weekly and season
stats below should give you an idea of who else is hot and who's
not; check back next week for
more updates, and be sure to check out our
