  • FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE UCLA Baseball September 23, 2010 Contact: Alex Timiraos
    DEPARTMENT OF INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETICS FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE UCLA Baseball September 23, 2010 Contact: Alex Timiraos UCLA BASEBALL WELCOMES NINE NEWCOMERS TO WESTWOOD Bruins’ recruiting class includes six position players, three right-handed pitchers LOS ANGELES – UCLA baseball head coach John Savage welcomed nine incoming freshmen to campus Thursday as fall quarter classes began in Westwood. Savage’s sixth full recruiting class at UCLA features nine freshmen, including six position players and three right-handed pitchers. “Our program is very excited about the addition of these freshmen,” Savage said. “Coach Vanderhook did a great job putting this class together, and we are very fortunate that the five players who were drafted last June chose to stick to their commitment of attending UCLA. Our coaching staff feels that these players can contribute from the start.” The Bruins’ latest recruiting class was ranked No. 4 in the nation by Collegiate Baseball on Tuesday. That marks the highest ranking of any of Savage’s six recruiting classes at UCLA by any national publication. UCLA’s 2005-06 incoming group was ranked No. 5 by Baseball America, and the Bruins’ 2007-08 recruiting class was hailed as the No. 5 group by Collegiate Baseball. UCLA’s incoming freshman class features five players selected in the 2010 MLB Draft. Each of the incoming three right-handed pitchers were drafted last June – Adam Plutko (sixth round, Houston), Zack Weiss (10th round, Pittsburgh) and Nick Vander Tuig (39th round, Toronto). Outfielder Brenton Allen (ninth round, Philadelphia) and infielder Kevin Williams (41st round, L.A. Dodgers) both hit from the left side of the plate.

  • Weekly Notes 072817
    MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL WEEKLY NOTES FRIDAY, JULY 28, 2017 BLACKMON WORKING TOWARD HISTORIC SEASON On Sunday afternoon against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Coors Field, Colorado Rockies All-Star outfi elder Charlie Blackmon went 3-for-5 with a pair of runs scored and his 24th home run of the season. With the round-tripper, Blackmon recorded his 57th extra-base hit on the season, which include 20 doubles, 13 triples and his aforementioned 24 home runs. Pacing the Majors in triples, Blackmon trails only his teammate, All-Star Nolan Arenado for the most extra-base hits (60) in the Majors. Blackmon is looking to become the fi rst Major League player to log at least 20 doubles, 20 triples and 20 home runs in a single season since Curtis Granderson (38-23-23) and Jimmy Rollins (38-20-30) both accomplished the feat during the 2007 season. Since 1901, there have only been seven 20-20-20 players, including Granderson, Rollins, Hall of Famers George Brett (1979) and Willie Mays (1957), Jeff Heath (1941), Hall of Famer Jim Bottomley (1928) and Frank Schulte, who did so during his MVP-winning 1911 season. Charlie would become the fi rst Rockies player in franchise history to post such a season. If the season were to end today, Blackmon’s extra-base hit line (20-13-24) has only been replicated by 34 diff erent players in MLB history with Rollins’ 2007 season being the most recent. It is the fi rst stat line of its kind in Rockies franchise history. Hall of Famer Lou Gehrig is the only player in history to post such a line in four seasons (1927-28, 30-31).
