Pitcher Wiley A Heavy Hitter
One of the most outstanding men on the 1956 baseball team is pitcher, out-fielder Ron Wiley, Kansas City, Kan. sophomore, who is making a name for himself in the Big Seven conference baseball circle.
Wiley, the leading pitcher on Coach Temple's team, has compiled a 4-0 record. He is also one of the leading hitters on the squad, with three home-runs, a double, and six singles to his credit. His hitting power is a great asset to the team. He doubles as an outfielder when not on the mound.
Coach Temple gave Wiley some very deserving praise, saying, "I wish every boy on the team had Ron's attitude toward the game. He is one of the most conscientious players on the squad and keeps in training the full year."
"If he keeps on developing, he will undoubtedly become one of the most outstanding baseball players in KU's history." Temple said.
Wiley began playing at 12, in the 3-2 league in Kansas City. He then played Ban Johnson baseball and three years of high school baseball. In his senior year Wiley pitched Wyandotte to the State Baseball Championship, winning seven and losing none.
Besides his baseball prowess, Wiley lettered two years in football and basketball at Wyandotte. A sophomore in engineering, Wiley is majoring in industrial management.
