    LINE DRIVES THE NATIONAL COLLEGIATE BASEBALL WRITERS NEWSLETTER (Volume 46, No. 2, Apr. 24, 2007) The President’s Message By NCBWA President Michael “Mex” Carey Membership: It’s hard to believe that the baseball season is nearing conference tournament time. The season has been a great one so far and things are sure to get more exciting as we get closer to conference tournaments, the NCAA Regionals and the College World Series. A young Georgetown team in the Nation’s Capitol has struggled with some injuries, but the battle for supremacy in the BIG EAST, like many other conferences across the country, are still up for debate. At the same time, our heartfelt condolences go out to everyone at Virginia Tech after the senseless tragedy that unfolded on the Blacksburg campus recently. I was not the only one, I’m sure, who was horrified by the images and though immediately of our friends who work on the campus. Pete Hughes, one of the great coaches in college baseball who I got to know when he was at Boston College and I worked at St. John’s, said it right after the Hokies’ 11-9 loss to Miami in the team’s first game after the tragedy. “We won before we got to the field today. The scoreboard was insignificant.” The board members of the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association are in the process of selecting names for yearly awards. Last week, the final list for the Stopper of the Year Award will be announced and right behind that, we will have announcements for All-American nominees.

  • 2007 Outlook
    2007 Outlook INTRO THIS IS LSU PREVIEW TIGERS COACHES REVIEW HISTORY RECORDS The Paul Mainieri Era LSU Begins Since becoming LSU’s baseball coach on June 28, Paul Mainieri has learned much about the Fighting Tiger program, including its magnificent tradition, its loyal fans and its expectations of winning championships. Most importantly, Mainieri and his assistant coaches – Terry Rooney, Cliff Godwin and Blair Barbier – have spent the past several months educating themselves about the assets of the young men that comprise the 2007 LSU squad. Mainieri said that the Tigers’ four-week fall practice session in October revealed much about the team’s assets. “We found out an awful lot about our team this fall, and most of it was very good,” Mainieri said. “I don’t think we’re going to have many candidates for All-American this year, but I do think the kids are going to play hard, they’re going to play with a lot of enthusiasm, and I do think we have enough talent to win.” The ’07 Tigers feature 18 returning lettermen, including four position starters and seven pitchers that recorded innings last season. The youthful squad includes 23 freshmen and sophomores – and just four seniors - on a 37-man roster. “I do think we have enough talent to be a very competitive team this spring,” Mainieri said. “The kids have really responded to a new style of coaching, and it’s been a lot of fun watching them develop.” The 2007 Tigers Lettermen Returning/Lost: 18/14 Position Starters Returning/Lost: 4/5 Pitchers Returning/Lost: 7/7 Returning Redshirts: 2 Newcomers: 17 (11 high school players, 4 JUCO transfers, 2 four-year college transfers) By Class By State Seniors: 4 Louisiana: 25 Juniors: 10 Florida: 7 Sophomores: 11 Alabama: 2 Freshmen: 12 Mississippi: 2 Maine: 1 58 2007 LSU BASEBALL OFFICIAL YEARBOOK 2007 Outlook Position Players INTRO THIS IS LSU While pleased with the work ethic and team, is the Tigers’ projected starter at He batted .273 with two doubles, one PREVIEW energy displayed by the LSU position second base.

    LINE DRIVES THE NATIONAL COLLEGIATE BASEBALL WRITERS NEWSLETTER (Volume 46, No. 1, Jan. 31, 2007) Membership: Play ball! It’s hard to believe that we have not yet reached February, but the first reports of college baseball scores has come through on my computer. It was with great pleasure and interest that I read the first recap – defending national champion Oregon State picking up where it left off in Omaha last year – and prepared for what we all hope will be an exciting 2007 season. While the winter has been pretty mild in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast – the Georgetown baseball team was actually able to practice outdoors because temperatures were in the 60s at one point – the latter part of January has brought some cold weather, but not enough to dampen the spirits of those of us who love college baseball. Here at Georgetown, former Cincinnati Reds catcher and Hall of Famer Johnny Bench will be the guest at our annual “First Pitch” Dinner and the team hits the field for the first time on February 13 against George Washington. This year will be the last of the “early” starts for college baseball as the NCAA has mandated a final weekend in February (depending on the calendar) or first weekend in March opening for all divisions with a maximum of 56 regular- season dates beginning in 2008. Many of you have seen our membership forms come through e-mail and thanks for reminding the beat writers, columnists and electronic media covering your teams to send in membership dues checks to our Associate Executive Director, Russell Anderson.

  • 2007 WALLACE WATCH College Baseball Player of the Year
    2007 WALLACE WATCH College Baseball Player of the Year November 21, 2006 LUBBOCK, Texas – Twelve returning members of last season’s College Baseball Foundation All America Team head up a list of 148 baseball student-athletes on the 2007 Wallace Watch released Monday by the CBF in Lubbock, TX. The Brooks Wallace Award is presented annually to the national college baseball player of the year. The 2006 winner, Brad Lincoln of Houston, signed last summer to play professionally for the Pittsburgh Pirates. Last year, outfielder Kellen Kulbacki of James Madison set school records with 24 home runs and 75 RBIs. He also ranked first in homers, slugging percentage, tied for first in RBIs per game and second in batting average among all Division I players. Joining him on this elite list are two returning 2006 Wallace Award finalists, Cal State Fullerton pitcher Wes Roemer and Virginia’s multi-talented P-1B Sean Doolittle. Roemer started last season by going 65 2/3 innings without issuing a single free pass, helping pitch the Titans to its’ 15th consecutive postseason berth. Doolittle started every game for the Cavaliers, rotating between first base and pitcher, leading the team in RBI, while also posting 11 wins on the mound.
