At the first sack, junior Cassidy Fegan stands as one of only two holdovers from the Ken Bowman era. Fegan, who batted .258 last season, has shown a knack for the clutch hit (4 game-winning RBIs as a freshman), and was named WCC Player of the Week following a stretch that saw a 5-5, 5-run, 6- RBI, 2-HR performance in an 18-5 crushing of Stanford, followed by another double- homer performance as part of a 10-9 victory over San Jose State four days later. Fegan, whom Hill refers to as "definitely a guy we're counting on," was the fourth-best fielder in the WCC last season, registering a .990 fielding percentage. Righty Eric Flores (West Valley JC) and lefty Jess Galarza (Canada JC) "need to improve defensive to be an everyday player, but they could definitely see themselves in a platoon situation (TheFoghorn)."
