Jayhawks are set to host Niagara in home opener
OUTFIELD
Kansas has a young group of outfielders in Michael Suiter, Tucker Tharp and Dakotas Smith. So far, the three starting outfielders have committed only three errors. The Jayhawks outfield has played particularly well. Kansas coach Ritch Price hasn't pointed out many flaws from this outfield. Against Niagara, Kansas should continue to play well in the outfield.
INFIELD
Captains and seniors Alex DeLeon, Jordan Drilling and Kevin Kuntz are going to be depended on quite a lot. The experienced group of infielders has helped the pitchers quite a lot this season and look to continue to play well with Big 12 play coming up soon after playing Niagara.
BATTING
Price would like a little bit more consistency when it comes to offense. The Jayhawks averaged a little under six runs in the series against Eastern Michigan, which is just a little bit short of their season average. Kansas finally gets a home game and the bats could come alive against Niagara for the home team.

PITCHING
Similar to the Jayhawks, the Eagles have a very young and talented core group of outfielders. Sophomore Jordan Schwartz has committed one error, which is the only error charged by the starting outfielders.
BATTING
Catcher Pavel Chavez-Rusova, second baseman Michael Fuhrman and third baseman Greg Rodgers are all freshman and are still learning the ropes of college baseball Junior shortstop Thomas Rodriguegs and senior first baseman Ryan McCaulley have been relied on a lot as the top veterans on this team.
Pitching has been the key to the layhawks' success so far this season. Senior Thomas Taylor earned his first complete game shutout last weekend. Junior Frank Duncan and Taylor each have an ERA of 2.21 and combine for 35 strikeouts off three starts for each pitcher.
Senior first baseman Ryan McCauley has the best batting average of any player on the team with a 294 average. Freshman third baseman Greg Rodgers, freshman catcher Pavel Chavez-Rusova and McCauley all co-lead the teams in home runs with two apiece. But they'll need more contributors if they want to overcome the Jayhawks' pitching rotation on the road.
The pitching for Niagara has not been hot this season. Opposing teams have had no problems firing way with ease, getting on base and reaching home plate with a run. Freshman Kyle Olver, who's been the most active pitcher with 15 innings pitched for the Eagles, has an ERA of 5.40 and has allowed 11 hits and nine earned runs. Kansas batters could have a good day against senior Jim Fort because he has allowed three home
