CLOSE TO HOME: USF plays 22 of its 55 games at Bendetti Diamond this season, with another seven games taking place at neutral sites. The Dons will play 31 of their 55 games within 84 miles of the USF campus. Four of the team’s games will take place at AT&T Park, home of the San Francisco Giants.

DANTE BENEDETTI CLASSIC: San Francisco will hold the sixth annual Dante Bene-detti Classic at AT&T Park on Tuesday, March 15th against San Jose State. The first pitch is set for 12:20 p.m. with the Saint Ignatius and Sacred Heart Cathedral game to start approximately 30 minutes afterward. USF is 4-1 in Benedetti Classic games.

PRESEASON HONORS: Senior third baseman Stephen Yarrow was named a Preseason All-West Coast Conference selection. Yarrow, was a first-team All-WCC pick last spring after leading the league in home runs with 16. He hit .310 with 46 RBIs, 12 doubles and a .635 slugging percentage.

DONS PICKED TO FINISH THIRD IN WCC: The Dons were picked to finish third in the West Coast Conference’s preseason coaches’ poll. The league coaches unanimously picked San Diego to repeat as WCC Champions. They predicted Pepperdine to come in second, with USF was six points behind and Portland one point behind in fourth. USF hosts homestands against Saint Mary’s, Santa Clara, Loyola Marymount and Pep-perdine and goes on the road for series at Gonzaga, Portland and San Diego.

POWERING UP: Senior third baseman Stephen Yarrow enters the 2011 season in the top 10 in home runs, extra base hits and putouts in USF history. He needs just six home runs to become second all-time and needs just four triples to become the school’s all-time leader. Four more RBIs will put Yarrow in the top 10 in that category as well.

SCOUTING THE BRUINS: After finishing the 2010 season as the NCAA runner-up and returning it’s two aces on the mound, it is no surprise that UCLA is one of the top ranked teams in the country. Junior right-handed pitchers Gerrit Cole and Trevor Bauer are considered by many to be the top two pitchers in the country, giving the Bruins one of the most intimidating rotations in the na-tion. Cole went 11-4 last year and was third in the country with 153 strikeouts. Bauer finished 12-3 and led the nation in strikeouts with 165. Baseball Ameri-can considers Cole and Bauer the No. 2 and No. 12 best collegiate baseball players eligible for the 2011 draft. UCLA had 11 players drafted in the 2010 Major League Amateur Draft. The Bruins return six starting position players.

SCOUTING THE ROADRUNNERS: This is the third season for the baseball program at Cal State Bakersfield. The Roadrunners won 26 games last season — 13 more than they had in their first season. CSU-Bakersfield is playing as an independent right now, with no conference affiliation and will play teams from 11 different conferences this season. The Roadrunners return 13 of their 27 letter winners from last season. LAST TIME VS. USF: The Dons and Roadrunners played on March 9th and 10th last season with USF winning 3-0 and 2-0. Alex Kalogrides was the Dons’ winning pitcher in the first game with Jordan Remer getting credit for the sec-ond game win.

a 3.0 or higher, with 97 percent of the team earning a 2.5 or higher. Five USF baseball players were also named to the West Coast Conference’s All-Academic team last spring.

GOALS AND EXPECTATIONS: A tough final weekend to end the 2010 season left the USF baseball team anxious to get back on the diamond again and resume its journey to compete for the program’s first West Coast Conference championship since the 2006 season.

The Dons had a chance to finish in second place in the WCC going into the final weekend of the season. The Dons ended up going 10-11 in league play for a fourth-place finish. USF has finished in the top three in the WCC standings in six of the past eight seasons.

The Dons ended the season with a 28-28 overall record, which marked the eighth consecutive year of totaling 25 or more wins.

“Anytime you are .500 you look back on that and if you can switch six games that could put you into a regional,” Giarratano said. “There were some key games in that sequence. I think what I look back on most of all is the three losses at Pepper-dine.”

USF returns 24 letter winners and 12 of its 15 pitchers. Five of its eight position players are back with a roster that boasts nine seniors.

Giarratano counts his team’s senior leadership as one of the program’s biggest strengths this year in addition to the overall balance on his squad. He envisions a great season for his pitch-ers, but says his team will also need to score runs because he doesn’t anticipate many shut-out games.

BEHIND THE PLATE: The Dons have a major void to fill behind the plate after losing three-year starter Ryan Lipkin to gradua-tion. Lipkin started at catcher in all 56 of USF’s games last sea-son and was a semifinalist for the Johnny Bench Award. Set to replace Lipkin is redshirt senior Travis Higgs, who has waited patiently in the wings for his chance at a starting role. Junior catcher Mason Morioka will also see time at catcher, likely spelling Higgs on Saturdays and perhaps on Tuesdays as well.

“We are really fortunate to have Travis,” Giarratano said. “He’s learned a lot from Ryan in those three years. He’s a remarkable leader, he’s a tough player and a very talented player.”

EXPERIENCED INFIELD: The Dons return two first-team West Coast Conference infielders in senior third baseman Stephen Yarrow and junior first baseman Nik Balog, along with sopho-more second baseman Jason Mahood, who was voted onto the conference’s all-freshman team.

“It’s comforting to know Yarrow is back there at third,” Giarrata-no said. “If he plays the kind of defense he did last year and hits 16 homeruns again this year we have a chance to wins some games. Jason continues to get better and has all of the intangi-

CHART TOPPER: Senior pitcher Matt Lujan is just five victories away from becoming the school’s all-time wins leader. The left–handed pitcher has won 18 games in his three years on the Hill-top. Lujan is also nine starts away from starting the most games in USF history.

TIME ON THE MOUND: Senior left-handed pitcher Garrett Luip-pold enters the 2011 season needing just nine more appear-ances to become the Dons’ all-time appearances leader. He has pitched in 79 games for the green and gold.

RECORD-SETTING SKIPPER: Head coach Nino Giarratano en-ters the 2011 season just 14 wins away from collecting his 350th victory at USF. Another 13 West Coast Conference wins would give Giarratano the seventh most league wins in WCC history.

2010 DRAFT: Four USF players were selected in the 2010 Major League Baseball Amateur Draft: Doug Murrary (19th round by Chicago White Sox), Ryan Lipkin (24th round, Oakland Athletics), Derek Poppert (30th round, Seattle Mariners) and Matt Chavez (44th round, Chicago White Sox). Murrary, Lipkin and Poppert all graduated from USF that spring, but Chavez elected to return to school and play for the Dons.

PRIDE IN YOUR COUNTRY: USF head coach Nino Giarratano spent his summer coaching for the United States Collegiate National Team. The team competed in Japan and Taiwan and finished with a silver medal at the FISU World Championships. Giarratano also helped coach Team USA to a gold medal during the summer of 2008.

MOORE RETURNS HOME: After a one-year absence, Greg Moore re-joined the Dons’ coaching staff. Moore coached at USF for eight seasons before spending the 2010 season coaching at the University of Washington. Moore, who also pitched at USF, was named Associate Head Coach upon his return and signed a multi-year contract.

THE HONOR ROLL: This fall marked an exciting time for USF head coach Nino Giarratano, who was inducted into two Hall of Fames and was named the Northern California Scouts Associa-tion Division I Coach of the Year. Giarratano was inducted into the Pueblo South High School Hall of Fame and the Greater Pueblo Sports Association Hall of Fame. HOME RUNS FOR HEALTH CAMPAIGN: Junior pitcher/outfield-er Bob Mott and teammates Cameron Love, Nik Balog and Jared Denham put together a fundraising campaign for the Nothing But Nets Foundation, which raises money to buy malaria nets for families in Africa. For each home run USF hits this season, the Dons plan to donate a malaria net to the Nothing But Nets Foun-dation. Each nets costs $10. Please visit nothingbutnets.net and search for the USF team page to donate and help the Dons’ raise money for this cause.

MAKING THE GRADE: The USF baseball team posted the high-est cumulative team GPA in a semester in program history with a 3.26 during the fall of 2010. The previous record of 3.25 was set two years ago. An impressive 62 percent of the team earned

bles of a tough, gritty second baseman and Balog has improved from a defensive standpoint.”

That only leaves the shortstop position a question mark after los-ing Derek Poppert to graduation. Poppert was a two-year starter and was a part-time starter as a sophomore and freshman. Vying for the starting job in that crucial spot are junior Adam Clear and junior transfer Artiz Garcia. No clear favorite has emerged, with Giarratano saying he’s enjoying the competition playing out for that position.

ROAMING THE OUTFIELD: Back to patrol the outfield again this season are seniors Connor Bernatz and Pete Lavin. Bernatz was a first-team all-WCC selection last year in rightfield and Lavin was an honorable mention selection in centerfield.

Giarratano is excited to have that kind of leadership and defen-sive experience back, especially to help get a new leftfielder up-to-speed. Four players are competing for that leftfield spot including juniors Bob Mott, Grame Agate, Tom Barry and transfer Ted LeMasters. Mott spent the past two seasons pitching for the Dons, but has emerged as the darkhorse candidate to snag the starting job with LeMasters following closely behind. Barry will also see time in the line-up as a designated hitter.

ON THE MOUND: The Dons return nearly three-fourths of their total innings from last year. Senior left-handed pitcher Matt Lu-jan will step into the Friday starter role after the graduation of eight-game winner Doug Murry. Lujan has pitched on every day of the weekend throughout his career, giving the Dons confi-dence in his leadership and ability to give the team a chance to win each Friday.

“On Saturday, a young guy, Kyle Zimmer, has emerged,” Giarrata-no said. “We are very excited about him and his powerful arm.”

The Sunday starting role is going to depend on who will be the team’s closer this season. If senior right-handers Sean Burns and freshman left-hander Jordan Haseltine handle the final innings then senior right-hander Matt Hiserman can step into that Sun-day spot, but if Hiserman is needed to close, than lefties Garrett Luippold or Jordan Remer will move into that role. Hiserman is excited to begin his final season for the green and gold after re-covering completely after suffering a skull fracture from being hit by a line drive to the head last February.

Giarratano is pleased with the progress of sophomore right-hander Haden Hinkle, who could be the team’s Tuesday starter with classmate Elliott Waterman a candidate for that role as well. Freshman Ben Graff may be called upon to be a spot starter or left-handed specialist. Senior Jonathan Abramson will anchor the team’s middle relief effort along with juniors Camerson Love and Matt Chavez and sophomore Abe Bobb. Chavez will also see time in the line-up as a designated hitter.

“I like the depth of our staff this season,” Giarratano said. “We can go 12-13 pitchers deep and have eight left-handed pitchers.”

AT THE PLATE: The pre-season buzz surrounding hitting this year is the NCAA rules change regarding the length and weight of bats. After the 1998 season, which was marked by records in homerun hits and runs scored, the NCAA created the Ball Exit Speed Ratio in an effort reduce the power of metal bats and the speed in which the ball comes off the bat. During the off-season, the NCAA once again adjusted the measurement requirements of bats in an effort to reduce the speed off the ball for safety, in addition to speeding up play.

Giarratano said there will be an early adjustment period because the new bats will change the flight of the ball. The Dons, how-ever, began playing with the new bats during the fall season.

USF returns three players in the top four spots of the line-up, with a slight shuffling of the order. After leading off last season, Lavin will move to the three-hole, while Connor Bernatz moves from the bottom third of the lineup to the lead-off spot. Mahood will bat second again this season and Yarrow stays at clean-up.

Giarratano plans to put his designator hitter — either Barry or Chavez — at No. 5 with Higgs following in sixth. Balog will stay at nearly the same spot with the shortstop/rightfielder hitting eighth and ninth.

“I think our team has balance and so does our line-up,” Giarrata-no said. “This team has the potential to hit 30 or 40 points higher than last year and get into the .310 or .320 category. We are go-ing to have to be offensive enough to score runs.”

Giarratano is excited about having five left-handed and five right-handed hitters to be able to go 5-4 or 4-5 on any given day.
