D-Bat looks like a nice recruiting class, and it is not like SU needed much help. With their returns and these adds looks like we can expect big things from SU this year!

Ok, so how did SU look? Any new faces, or maybe old ones that played well?

Was looking over some of the 2013 rosters that have been posted.  I noticed that there was a big starter missing from the Shenandoah roster.  Starting SS Kurt Krout is not on the roster.  Does anyone have any info on this?  If he is no longer w/ the team that is a big loss of experience.

Have not heard anything about this, I've seen him on campus, so he's still here, so who knows?

Looing at VA Wesleyan's returnees and 2013 roster, I'm not finding much to be excited about. SR Josh Miller, SR Matt Ittner and JR Brett Sutryk looks like are coming back as the only bats that may scare someone.  What I did see that look like incoming transfers are SR Kenneth Belgrave (Div 1 ODU), SO Casey Bryant from College of Albermale (JUCO), SO Jordan Miller (Div 2 Mansfield University).  All 3 may be able to step in right away and help.

WINCHESTER, Va. - Coach Kevin Anderson and the Shenandoah Hornets baseball team look to continue their winning ways in the upcoming 2013 season.

Last season, SU completed for its fourth consecutive 30+win season in the USA South Conference with 31 overall victories and eight in conference play. The Hornets finished the 2012 season as runners-up in the league and made their fourth appearance in the NCAA Regionals. Shenandoah made it to the final day of the regional for the fourth time in a row before falling to eventual champion Christopher Newport.

Like the other 19 intercollegiate teams at SU, the baseball team has moved from the USA South Conference to the ODAC this season. Anderson's club was recently picked to finish third in the 2013 ODAC Preseason Poll.

Despite the conference change and the obstacles that come with it, the Hornets plan to continue their winning ways in the ODAC. "That's the challenge each and every year... The dynamics of the schedule have changed," Anderson said.

This spring, the team has 13 double-headers scheduled opposed to the three it played in 2012.

"This is a different type of team than what we have had the last few years," Anderson commented. "We have been notorious as an upperclassmen-driven program." This year, on the 49-man roster, SU has a total of 15 upperclassmen with seven seniors and eight juniors. "We have a core of seasoned veterans returning but we are going to be young at key spots, especially on the mound," Anderson added.

The Hornets plan to have a four- or five-man starting rotation. Senior Nick McMahon returns this year as the staff ace. As a junior and No. 3 starter, McMahon went 6-0 with a 2.61 ERA in 48.1 innings pitched. Freshmen Darrell Thompson, Phillip Morse and Billy Arens are expected help with starting pitching duties.

Thompson will start game two of Saturday's doubleheader.

Senior DH Nick Beall will once again look to take the pressure off of the pitchers with his bat. Beall, a 2013 Preseason All-American, is coming off of a .421 season last spring that included first team All-USA South, All-South Region and All-Tournament accolades at both the USA South and Newport News Regional tournaments. Beall also drove in 35 runs to go along with a .559 slugging percentage.

Besides winning, keeping his team focused on the task at hand is one of Anderson's largest goals. When asked about the preseason ranking he said, "I don't even look at that stuff. I just want to see where we are at by the end of the [season]... Biggest thing we ask of our players is to give 100% percent on a daily basis in everything they do."
