KANSAS VISITS WEST VIRGINIA
Jayhawks take on Mountaineers in Big 12 showdown
HAWLEY FIELD, 5:30 P.M., BECKLY, WEST VIRGINIA
PITCHING
Thomas Taylor's 2.47 ERA and 4-0 record will face off with Mountaineer's starter Harrison Musgrave in a game to foreshadow the weekend. Sophomore left-handed pitcher Wes Benjamin holds down the Saturday start, while the Sunday spot is still in question. Kansas junior closer Jordan Piche" was named to the National Collegiate Baseball Writers' Association Stopper of the Year watchlist for his NCAA leading 8 saves and 4.7 ERA.
HITTING
The Jayhawks are looking to be successful as usual on the road in West Virginia. The Jayhawk lineup continues to field two players above the .300 mark while batting .279 as a team. Sophomore left fielder Michael Suiter continues to lead the Jayhawks in batting average while Senior first baseman Alex DeLeon leads the team with five home runs after a three-run shot to left field against the Baker Wildcats.
FIELDING
The Jayhawks continued to take care of business in the field against the Baker Wildcats. The Jayhawks substituted several young players in the late stages of the game. The Jayhawks' team fielding percentage is hovering just above 97 percent for the season. The outfield and middle infield continue to play solid defense long into the stretch of the conference season.
PITCHING
West Virginia's rotation features a solid opening night starter in sophomore left-handed pitcher Harrison Musgrave. The lefty enters the weekend series with a 6-1 record and 2.70 ERA. By striking out 46 batters and walking only 21 in 63 1/3 innings on the season, Musgrave has elevated himself as one of the best pitchers in the Big 12 conference early in his career.
HITTING
The Mountaineers are hanging steadily in the middle of the Big 12 pack with their 6-6 record this season. Their lineup features a .284 team batting average and three players touting averages higher than .300. Junior third baseman Ryan Tuntail leads the team at the plate with a .366 average, 49 hits and 23 RBIs. Look for the Mountaineers to be fairly aggressive on the basepaths with 51 stolen bases recorded on the season.
FIELDING
The Mountaineers have committed 54 errors on the season good for a .964 fielding percentage. Junior first baseman Ryan McBroom and junior third baseman Ryan Tuntland have committed a team high seven errors on the year. The Mountaineers are generally a solid fielding club that relies on grinding out runs offensively and pitching to contact on defense.
