4. University Daily Kansan, August 23, 1982 Page 16 Pattin says pitching key for Jayhawks By JEFF CRAVENS Sports Writer Marty Pattin will need an improved pitching staff and some help from new recruits if the Jayhawk baseball team is to improve last year's 23:27 record. Pattin, who began coaching last year following his retirement from professional baseball, tried to recruit pitching help to shore up last year's staff. "Our pitching was suspect," Pattin said. "We didn't have a reliable bullpen and that really hurt us because I think that the Rig Eight is a hitter's league." JIM PHILIPS was the only pitcher on last year's staff who ended the season with an earned run average of under 4.00. Pattin signed two pitchers for this year. Drew Hosman is a left-handed pitcher, who transferred to KU from Barton County Community College. "Drew did an excellent job for Barton County. Patton said he 're mains on' the program." Ron Barback will be the only freshman to join the staff. He is from Truxton. "Ron has an excellent arm," Pattin said. "He has a great deal of potential." These two will help fill the void left by Randy McIntyre and Mike Watt. Patin was hoping to recruit more pitching good prospects in the four-state area. "I THINK it got to the point last year where the pitchers were trying too hard," said Pattin. "This year, I'm going to work with them more on an individual basis, so they can get their skills and learn how to set up the hitters." Jim Braun and Rob Thomson, two junior college transfers, will battle for the catching duties. According to Patin, Keith Hoskison, who caught last year, will not be back this year. "Both Braun and Thompson are good receivers who have good arms," Pattun Thomson transferred from St. Clair in Michigan and Braun came from New York. The Jayhawks lost their shortstop, Jeff Neuill, to the Kansas City Royals. The Royals drafted Neuill following his retirement from Pattin, he has been a elegant surprise. "I HEAR Jeff is doing an excellent job," Pattin said. "He is hitting very well, which is an area that I was worried about. I am delighted that he is playing well and wish him nothing but the best." To replace Neuzil, Pattin signed John Glenn who is also from Barton County. According to Pattin, Glenn has excellent range and a fine arm. Nick Zynch, who was the Junior College Player of the Year in this area, will probably be at second base for the Jayhawks. "Nick played at Kansas City, Kansas Community College, has good hands and has developed some power in recent years." Pattin said. ROUNDING OUT the recruiting scene, Pattin signed a pair of outfielders, Kevin Bascue and Mike Ingran. Bascue hit 24 home runs last year and 26 the year before for Garden City Community College and is expected to add 13 more than his Hawks team. Ingran, a freshman, has excellent credentials from his high school career at Shawnee Mission South. Pattin said he also hoped to pick up a player or two from the annual tryouts, which take place this week. Anyone interested in trying out should report to the southwest bleachers in Allen Field House at 3 p.m. tomorrow. "The secret to winning is having. depth in the pitching department so we are still looking for a pitcher or two," Pattin said. Besides Phillips, outfielders Dick Lewallen and Bill Yelton and third baseman Joe Heeeny return to give the Jayhawks an experienced nucleus. Lewallen turned down the New York Yankees, who drafted him in the 1982 amateur draft, to return for his senior year. "I think the players will know me better this year." Pattin said. "Last year was a learning experience for me and my coaches, as well as the players. This year, everyone knows what to expect." CASA DE TACO " little place with a big heart.
