Particularly, Mazey likes the offensive makeup of The 56-game schedule is highlighted by 23 home games and games the 2017 Mountaineers. against four of the eight teams that made the 2016 College World Series. “We’ve got a great mix. I think we have four or five guys who can hit double- The slate features a pair of games at the 2016 national champions, Coastal digit homers on this team. Of the guys that don’t, we have guys who can Carolina, and Big 12 home series against TCU and Texas Tech, both coming play some small ball. Jimmy Galusky, Kyle Gray and new center fielder off College World Series appearances. WVU also will travel to Oklahoma Brandon White can really run, so that’s a really neat mix. You look at Costal State, another College World Series program from a year ago, Tulane, which Carolina last year, they won the national championship and that’s what they reached the Regional final, and Southeastern Louisiana, for a total of 16 did. A bunch of guys had a lot of homers, but they also were top 10 in the games against 2016 NCAA Tournament teams. nation in sacrifice bunts too. I think we have that type of team offensively that we’re going to be able to do that.” The 23-game home schedule at Monongalia County Ballpark includes games against reigning Big 12 regular season champion Texas Tech West Virginia hit .287 as a team last year, which ranked No. 3 in the Big 12 (May 5-7) and Big 12 Tournament champion TCU (April 14-16), as well as and was WVU’s best average since joining the conference in 2013. Seven of Oklahoma (April 28-30), Kansas (April 7-9), Pitt (May 16), Marshall (April 4) nine starters and 11 position players return in 2017. and Penn State (May 9). All but four home games, and every Big 12 game, will be in April and May. There aren’t a lot of holes to fill in the starting lineup in the field. The newcomers add depth and bring plenty of success at the high school level. “I’m excited that we have some really good teams coming to Morgantown this season, including two that were in the College World Series last year,” “I like their energy and ability to help in spots where we needed help,” Mazey said. “Our fans played a big role in building a strong home field Mazey said of the new faces on the roster. “We have a lot of guys back from advantage at Monongalia County Ballpark last year, and I know they’ll get to last year, so we didn’t need anyone to come in and just take over anywhere. see some great baseball again this year.” The freshmen are going to get their chances.”

West Virginia has 10 pitchers returning from a staff that ranked third in the Big 12 with a 4.07 ERA. Coming off their best season since joining the Big 12 Conference and in the Randy Mazey era, the Mountaineers came agonizingly close to making the Despite losing ERA leader Chad Donato, saves leader Blake Smith and wins NCAA Tournament in 2016 for the first time since 1996. leader Ross Vance, who all signed with MLB clubs last summer, the pieces are there to fill those holes. That includes starters Conner Dotson, Michael The Mountaineers went 36-22, reached their first-ever Big 12 championship Grove and BJ Myers, all of whom have had success in the Big 12. game, and finished the year as one of the nation’s hottest teams, winning 17 of their last 21. However, WVU was listed as one of the first four teams out West Virginia is gaining respect within the league. The Big 12’s coaches when the NCAA Tournament field was announced. voted WVU fifth in the preseason coaches’ poll, the Mountaineers’ best-ever preseason ranking, and the 40 points in the poll were also a program best. The mindset of playing with an edge and proving doubters wrong began on May 30, 2016, after the 64-team NCAA Tournament field was revealed and From the wealth of returning position players to a strong corps of returning just three Big 12 teams were invited. WVU, which finished fourth in the Big pitchers and a much-heralded recruiting class, there is plenty of reason for 12, as well as the league, felt slighted. Oklahoma State, TCU and Texas Tech optimism at Monongalia County Ballpark. proceeded to prove the conference’s doubters wrong as all three teams advanced all the way to the College World Series. It’s a group that wants to be that first team from West Virginia to make the NCAA Tournament since 1996. Now, all they have to do is go out there and Fast forward to 2017, and Mazey and the Mountaineers know they have do it. what it takes to end WVU’s NCAA Tournament drought. Now, it’s on them to prove everyone outside of Morgantown wrong. As the season begins on Friday, here’s a position-by-position look at the 2017 Mountaineers: “We have something to prove,” Mazey said. “We continue to feel like we’re doing well, but I don’t think anybody outside of WVU thinks we’re good PITCHING enough to play in the postseason. Every day we take the field, we’re out to The Mountaineer pitching staff will be led by returning starters Conner prove to the rest of the country that we belong. Dotson, Michael Grove and BJ Myers, who combined for 21 starts a season ago. “This group needs to play with an edge and play like they’re mad, and they need to be because there was a whole group of people last year who told The trio has seen plenty of success in the Big 12 and all played crucial roles them they weren’t good enough. It’s a pretty good sign going into this year in WVU’s strong finish to the 2016 season. that they are out there trying to prove to a lot of people how good they are.” Dotson, a junior, pitched in 20 games with four starts and tied for That begins with embracing the process of a 56-game season. From the the team lead with seven wins. He was 3-0 as a starter, including a start of practice in the fall, the mindset was to focus on the process – dominant postseason performance in a win over Oklahoma in the Big 12 training and competing to be the best every day. Championship to send WVU to its first ever Big 12 title game. Dotson was named to the Big 12 All-Tournament Team. From eating right and training hard every day to getting enough sleep, the 35 players on the roster are embracing that process. It helps that seven of Also a junior, Myers made 17 appearances with 10 starts in 2016 after nine starting position players return, along with three starting pitchers who earning Freshman All-America honors in 2015. Myers won five games have had plenty of Big 12 success and a strong corps of relievers in the as a sophomore and pitched 4.2 strong innings in relief at the Big 12 bullpen. Championship in WVU’s win over No. 5 Texas Tech.
Bolstering that group is the highest-rated recruiting class in program history. Grove, a sophomore, made a big impact as a freshman, earning All-Big 12 Honorable Mention Team honors. A Wheeling, West Virginia, native, he “We’ve got guys back from last year who have had some success, and made seven starts, posting a 2.70 ERA. we’ve added some guys to that,” Mazey said. “We’ve got some pretty good depth in the lineup that we can interchange guys and rest other guys when “BJ, Michael and Conner are three veteran guys who have been here,” we need to. I’m pretty excited about the offense that we’re going to be able Mazey said. “I call Grove a veteran just because he pitched so much down to put out there.” the stretch. Those guys could be as good as anybody out there, I feel pretty good about that. Early on, when pitch counts aren’t as high, you have to use The question marks, and the reason the Mountaineers are ready to prove a lot more people but when those guys settle in and start doing their thing, I people wrong, are that the missing pieces from last year’s team all made feel really good about flipping them the ball.” an impact. Of the six major departures from a year ago, two were drafted and two more signed free agent contracts with Major League Baseball After Dotson, Grove and Myers, there are plenty of options. Eight returning organizations last summer. In total, five of the six Mountaineers who arms, and as many as nine newcomers, will be in the bullpen. Two key saw extended playing time last year who did not return in 2017 played pieces, a fourth starter and a closer, have to be development. professionally last summer.
9 Among the returners, those options could be senior Jackson Sigman, junior Jimmy Galusky mans shortstop. The Arthurdale, West Virginia, native was Shane Ennis and sophomores Tanner Campbell and Braden Zarbnisky. named to the All-Big 12 Honorable Mention Team and started 57 games at shortstop as a freshman. He hit .282 with 53 hits and 17 RBI and was Sigman made 20 appearances last year, including key stops in each game second on the team with five game-winning hits. of a three-game sweep of Texas. Zarbnisky was pivotal as a starter and a reliever, making 12 appearances and four starts. Ennis appeared in eight “Jimmy is probably the best shortstop in the league,” Mazey said. “He games, while Campbell made five starts. had the fewest errors of, I think, any shortstop in the Big 12 and ended up somewhere around .270-.280. If Jimmy could just get a little better Freshmen Alek Manoah, Carter Camp and Isaiah Kearns have shown offensively every year, by the time he leaves, he’s got a chance to be as promise during the preseason. good as any shortstop that’s played here.”
“Beyond our starters, we’re going to have to piece it together, try to find a Cole Austin is expected to man the hot corner. He made 39 starts as a fourth starter, someone who can finish the game at the end,” Mazey said. freshman, 27 at second base and 12 at third. Austin had 32 hits in 41 games “Alek Manoah has stepped up and looks like he could finish some games, with four home runs, six doubles and seven stolen bases in eight attempts. Braden Zarbnisky has thrown really well, so he’ll be in the mix somewhere. A couple of freshmen, including Carter Camp and Isaiah Kearns have Austin was one of three players with at least 10 starts at third base. The thrown really well. We have options, but it’s a little scary when guys haven’t list also features junior Kyle Davis and sophomore Ivan Gonzalez. Davis is proven themselves and had success. You have to learn how to have expected to play primarily in left, and Gonzalez will take over the primary success at this level.” responsibilities behind the plate.
The pitching staff is where the Mountaineers saw their biggest losses, “We’ve tried a couple different things,” Mazey said of the third base position. headlined by Chad Donato, Blake Smith and Ross Vance. “Cole Austin has spent time over there and has really good hands and likes it over there, so that might be a spot for him. On days when Ivan doesn’t Donato and Smith were drafted, while Vance signed a free agent contract. catch, he can always go out there. He went out there last year, literally not Donato was drafted in the 11th round by the Houston Astros, Smith was having practiced there, and looked like Brooks Robinson on some days. We selected in the 29th round by the Los Angeles Angels and Vance signed can juggle that spot a little bit more than the others.” with the St. Louis Cardinals organization. With Cramer, Gray, Galusky and Austin, along with capable backups, the Donato made 15 starts and led the team with a 3.27 earned run average, WVU infield has its sights set on a big year. while Vance made 13 starts and had a team-high-tying seven wins. Smith, who made 25 appearances, had eight saves, second-most in program OUTFIELD history. In the outfield, a pair of star-studded corner outfielders return, while a center fielder needs to be developed. West Virginia’s 13 saves rank No. 2 in the WVU record books. Manoah and Zarbnisky have led the charge to earn the closing spot early in the season. Right field is anchored by Darius Hill. He started all 58 games and earned Freshman All-America honors after leading the Mountaineers with 75 hits, 20 “Could be Alek Manoah, a big freshman from Florida,” Mazey said. It could doubles and a .511 slugging percentage in 2016. be Braden Zarbnisky, who had days where he showed a high-level breaking ball, a swing-and-a-miss breaking ball. You know at the back end you have Kyle Davis is in left field. Also a Freshman All-American, in 2015, Davis led to have somebody who can make batters swing and miss. The closer could WVU with 10 home runs, 39 walks and 52 runs scored and hit .280 as a be by committee early on until somebody wins it, but we have a couple of sophomore in 2016. Davis started 56 games last year, splitting time between capable guys back there.” third base, left field and designated hitter.
INFIELD “Kyle has turned himself into a really good left fielder so he’s going to stay The Mountaineers return every starter on the infield. Despite featuring out there and he’s turned into a well-rounded player,” Mazey said. “The one senior and three sophomores, the foursome return experience, solid last couple years it’s been mostly offense. His defense was okay, but now, defense and offensive potential. through his own work ethic and to his credit, he has rounded his game out pretty well.” “We’re very athletic in the infield,” Mazey said “We have some options, with guys moving in and out. We feel really good about our team defensively. In center field, Mazey has a couple of options. One is sophomore Zarbnisky, With Cole Austin, Jimmy Galusky, Kyle Gray and Jackson Cramer, plus guys who started 14 games in the outfield last year, and the other is freshman like Marques Inman, Alek Manoah, TJ Lake and Kevin Brophy, we have Brandon White. different options.” “Kyle Davis and Darius Hill are middle-of-the-lineup guys who have turned Jackson Cramer, one of two seniors on the 2017 roster, leads the infield. themselves into really good outfielders,” Mazey said. “They’re going to hopefully hold down the corners, and we have some options in center field. Cramer played in all but two games at first base last season, leading the One is Braden Zarbnisky, who played there last year. Brandon White has team with 45 RBI and a .535 slugging percentage, while finishing second really stepped up and shown that he can be a great defender out there.

He earned All-Big 12 Second in the game. It’s just knowing which ones to put out there at the right times.” Team honors and was a three-time Big 12 Player of the Week. CATCHER Cramer also had a 10-game hitting streak and opened the season reaching Catcher is a position where the Mountaineers lost a lot, but very well might base in 50 consecutive games, 30 games coming in 2016 and 20 carrying gain just as much. over from 2015. Ivan Gonzalez (who went by Ivan Vera last year), returns as a sophomore “Jackson had to be one of the hottest hitters in the nation the second half after a Freshman All-America campaign in 2016. He led the team with a .381 of last year,” Mazey said. “I think a lot of it had to do with when that streak batting average and a .437 on-base percentage recorded 51 hits, 23 RBI ended, nobody was asking him about it or talking about it and he just went and nine doubles. out and started hitting. He could not have cared less if he got a hit or not and ended up getting a lot more because of it. If he just relaxes, goes out Gonzalez came to WVU as a catcher and started eight games. He was a and plays, he’s the guy in our lineup that the other teams look at him and backup to junior Ray Guerrini, but his hot bat forced Mazey to put him in the say, ‘wow is that guy still there?’ Jackson has been in the middle of their lineup. That’s where third base came in, a position Gonzalez hadn’t played lineup for three straight years so, he’s got a chance to have a really good in years. year for us if he just relaxes.” Gonzalez started the final 20 games of the year at third, allowing Guerrini The rest of the starters on the infield are sophomores, but they do not lack to remain behind the plate. After Guerrini signed a free-agent contract with experience. the Seattle Mariners organization last summer, Gonzalez went back to his natural position. At second base, Kyle Gray started 16 games as a freshman and had 35 starts in the outfield. He hit .270 with 47 hits, 22 RBI and showed his speed “Ivan has really caught and thrown well this spring,” Mazey said. “He’s with a team-high 10 stolen bases. swinging the bat well. He’s won that job hands down, but Nick Denicola and Chase Illig, we need to find ways to get them in the game. They’re freshmen backing him up.
