Among the returnees is Jody Hamilton, a center fielder last season who has been switched to first base this year. The 6-4 senior was voted the OVC's " Player of the Year" last year, winning the conference crown and setting new season records in home runs (19), RBl's (60) and total bases (130).

" We had an outstanding fall, concentrating on defense," stated Hamilton. " We know we can hit the ball, but we feel we have to be a complete team to win in our conference." Experience is the key to suc­ cess in many cases, and Hamilton is hopeful that the presence of eight returning regulars and three of the squad's top four will give his team the boost it needs. McVaney, a senior who was injured most of last season, had a .299 batting average and pro­ vided solid defense. Freshman Mark Mangione will see back-up duty early and could crack the starting lineup by the season's end. 7 At second base, Auer earned all-conference honors during the 1978 season, although he fell to a .252 batting mark last year. A solid defensive performer, his offense is expected to return this season. A squad question mark ap­ pears in left field, a spot going to Glen Jones at the beginning of the season.

White, a two-year veteran, hit .307 last year with five home runs, while Gaunce hit .304. Both have strong throwing arms. The designated hitter spot is up for grabs, with Don Allen, Brian Hawk and Mark Davis as possibilities. Depth will be a strong suit for the Eagles. Allen should back up Bennett at third, Davis will serve as a catcher and back-up out­ fielder, and Hawk will back up Hamilton at first base. Defensively, freshman Joey May should give the Eagles plen­ ty of help in the outfield, with his good fundamentals and a strong throwing arm. As most fol lowers of basebal I know, pitching is often the key to success or failure. Hamilton feels his pitching staff is solid for the campaign ahead. " We have a great deal of ability on the pitching staff this season," he stated. "Early in the year we make a lot of control mistakes, and it reflects on our earned run averages at the end of the season."

Others to be con­ sidered are right handers Dan Hoard, Tom Deluca, and Scott Haynes. Left handers include Joe Mar­ tin and Mark Molitor. According to Hamilton, the league race and schedule will make for a tough season. " We may start slowly this season," stated Hamilton. " We play a number of good teams on our spring trip who will be ahead of us." He added: " Our conference schedule could be tougher than last year, as everybody in the league has improved."

Graduate Assistant Coach Sam Daugherty

Sam Daugherty, a former Eagle player under Leston Stewart and Sonny Allen, will be serving as graduate assistant with the MSU team this spring. Daugherty, a native of Greenfield, Ohio, is a former baseball and junior high basketball coach at University Breckinridge School on the MSU campus. According to Hamilton, Daugherty's pres­ ence will be of great value to the program. " Sam will be able to help in nearly all areas of the game, and with our young team, it is important that we give players individual instruc­ tion." He continued: " Sam brings an energy and enthusiasm to the job that is con­ tagious. His attitude could help make us a good team this year." A four-year baseball letterman, Daugherty played on MSU's 1969 championship squad.
