WEEKLY COLLEGE UPDATE FOR FORMER TEAM USA PLAYERS

 

WEEKLY RECAP: 3/30/2009

  • This wraps-up the sixth week of the 2009 college baseball season and marks the halfway point in regular season play…
  • San Diego State junior Stephen Strasburg continues his dominance with an 8-inning outing that saw him face 27 batters, fanning 14, allowing 2 earned runs on 3 hits, 1 of which was a homerun; this was only the 2nd time all year someone went yard on Strasburg; nevertheless, he picked up his fifth win and is one week closer to being announce by the Washington Nationals as the #1 overall draft pick in June…
  • Just down the road from Tony Gwynn Stadium, San Diego junior A.J. Griffin is quietly assembling an impressive season; this past week Griffin notched his 4th win as he went 7.2 IP, allowing 3 runs on 10 hits while fanning 8 and walking 5; not all that much to write home about, but Griffin has been getting it done each and every week and now sits on a 4-1 record with a paltry 2.30 ERA to go with 36 K’s in 31.1 IP…
  • Arizona State junior Mike Leake logged his group-leading 6th win after going 8 innings, allowing 1 run on 4 hits, fanning 4 and walking 1 to give him a 1.31 ERA on the year…
  • Vanderbilt junior Mike Minor had his best outing of the year last week; notably MIA from the highlights so far, Minor may now be starting to hit his groove; this past Friday he tossed 7 innings, allowing 2 runs on 5 hits, striking out 11 of 24 batters faced and walking 2…
  • Another surprise was Oklahoma State junior Andrew Oliver’s complete game win; Oliver fanned 14 while allowing 2 runs on 7 hits to give him his 4th win against 2 losses on the year…
  • During the first few weeks of the season, the lack of power among the group was concerning; over the past few weeks, a couple of names have emerged; Fresno State junior Tommy Mendonca just posted his third straight multi-homerun weeks and fourth out of the six weeks he has played this year; Mendonca went 8-for-15 on the week with 2 2B’s, 3 HR’s, 8 RBI’s and 1 SB; Mendonca now leads the group with 11 HR’s, 30 RBI’s, 66 total bases and a 0.759 SLG%...
  • California junior Blake Smith put together a nice week; Smith went 8-for-16 with 2 2B’s, 1 HR, 6 RBI’s, 7 BB’s, 2 K’s, 1 SB & 1 HBP… only missed a triple…
  • Coastal Carolina sophomore Scott Woodward has earned the reputation as the speedster of the group; this week Woodward swiped 3 bases in 4 attempts giving him 18-of-21 on the year; he also went 8-for-15 at the plate with 1 2B and 1 RBI while only fanning once…
  • Josh Fellhauer is doing good things at Cal-State Fullerton; his 0.429 BAVG leads the team as does his 33 hits…
  • There's so 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...

  • Check out our ebay store as we carry several of the players featured below and will be listing much more throughout the upcoming week!
