When I went and watched them play back in February in the Dodgertown Classic (check out my write up on Monday, March 1st), I liked their team but never envisioned them starting out the year this way. They are one of only two Division 1 programs with a perfect record (and as it happens, fellow Pac 10 power Arizona State is the other).
How are they getting it done? Pitching and defense (and really isn't that the recipe for a successful baseball team no matter the level?). Weekend sophomore starters, Gerritt Cole and Trevor Bauer have thrown great and senior righthander Garett Claypool has taken care of business during the week.
They are currently ranked 5th in the USA Today / ESPN Coaches Poll and starting this Thursday, their schedule starts to toughen as they open Pac 10 play when Stanford comes to town for a 3 game series.
For all the details on the team Go Here.
