PC enters 2017 having reached 27 wins in each of the last two seasons, the high-water mark for wins in PC s Division I era (since 2008). The Blue Hose also set a program record with 12 Big South wins last season en route to its first appearance in the Big South Tournament. The team finished tied for sixth in the Big South standings in 2016, the team s best-ever finish in the league. Scouting Alabama The Crimson Tide went a season ago with a record in the SEC, finishing ninth in the conference. UA returns three of four starting pitchers from last season and five of its eight starting position players. Chandler Avant is the top returning hitter for the Tide, after batting.278 with a team-high 15 doubles a year ago. Chandler Taylor returns after homering nine times last season with a team-best.482 slugging percentage, both tops among returners. On the mound, Jake Walters returns after leading Alabama in a number of categories last year, including wins and strikeouts. Chock, Kehner All-Big South by Perfect Game Junior right-hander Tanner Chock and senior lefty Brian Kehner were picked to the Preseason All-Big South team by Perfect Game.

Chock was 3-4 with a 4.60 ERA in 86.0 innings pitched across 15 starts a year ago, totaling 72 strikeouts against 44 walks and holding hitters to a.259 average.

Chock, Avery Top Prospects in Big South Tanner Chock was also named the No. 2 prospect in the Big South this season by both Perfect Game and D1Baseball.com.

Coastal Carolina High Point Longwood Gardner-Webb Campbell Presbyterian Winthrop Liberty Radford Charleston Southern UNC Asheville Weyenberg Looks to Pick Up Where He Left Off Senior outfielder Tyler Weyenberg established a Division I era school record last season with a 23-game hitting streak in the first half of the year. He, remarkably, followed that up with a 14-game hitting streak, as he went on to collect a hit in 49 of 57 games. The then junior also reached base in each of the first 28 games of the season, which led the team last season. He recorded a team-high 27 multi-hit games, including seven three-hit games. Weyenberg s.358 average was the third-best in school history since moving to Division I in 2008, while his 83 hits were the the most since In addition, his 16 stolen bases were the most in PC s D1 era and the most since From Closer to Starter Senior left-hander Hayden Deal served as PC s closer for the 2016 season, totaling seven saves and making 31 appearances out of the pen to total 30.2 innings pitched. He will open the 2017 season in the starting rotation. This will not be Deal s first time starting. In his career at PC, he has made seven starts, five of which came as a freshman in His last start came on April 4, 2015 against Campbell, as he worked 4.2 innings and allowed three runs on five hits with three walks against one strikeout. PC Sets New Highs in 2016 Head coach Elton Pollock returns for his 13th season at helm of his alma mater, after leading the Blue Hose to a Division I era record 27 wins in each of the last two seasons. The Blue Hose also established a school record with 12 Big South wins, leading to its first appearance in the Big South Tournament. PC compiled a record in home games last season, including a 9-3 mark against conference opponents. The Blue Hose won six of their seven home weekend series, including all four against Big South opponents. Mix of Youth and Experience Make Up 2017 Roster The Blue Hose 35-man roster is comprised of nine seniors, 14 juniors, four sophomores and seven freshman for PC hopes the heavy dose of experience with a nice group of newcomers will provide balance to the squad. This senior class is one of PC s most experienced, led by outfielder Tyler Weyenberg and pitcher Brian Kehner. Cletis Avery, Brett Auckland and Hayden Deal will also be key pieces this season, as will Glen Casaceli, Ethan Wortkoetter, Hunter Kyzar and Robert Moss. Returning juniors Tanner Chock, Colton Chapman, Ryan Hedrick and AJ Priaulx, just to name a few, will also be go-to players for the Blue Hose throughout the season. Newcomers to look out for in the early going will be catcher Thatcher Coleman, who sat out last year after transferring from South Carolina, and infielder Andrew Bladt, who came to PC from West Hills State Community College. 30th Season of PC s Modern Era The 2017 season marks the 30th season of the PC Baseball program since it was reinstated in The program s last season had been 1967 before it was revived in with the 1988 season. The Blue Hose have won 668 games over the previous 29 seasons. During the 30-year span, PC has seen just three coaches lead the program. Its first head coach when the program returned was Tim Corbin, who led the Blue Hose for six seasons from Corbin recently won a National Championship as head coach at Vanderbilt in Doug Kovash took over as head coach in 1994 and would lead the program for 11 seasons. Kovash won two conference championships, coming in 1998 and 2003, and established school record for wins in a season with 40 in One of Kovash s former players would become PC s third head coach, as Elton Pollock assumed the duties beginning with the 2005 season. Pollock is now in his 13th season at the helm of the program and helped lead PC through the transition to Division I. 2 PC s Record When...
