2015 Preview: First Base

Wes Rea, Senior RS: Rea has been here 5 years, so he brings a ton of experience. A very good defender at 1B. He struggled at the plate in 2014. Can he put it all together in his final year? He will start at 1B but there is lots of competition and that will push him.
Daniel Garner, Sophomore RS: Switched from catcher in 2014. When he connects his bat to the baseball, it can go a long way. Will compete at 1B.
Reid Humphreys, Sophomore: A star in the making. His older brother plays 1B in MLB. He will push for playing time at both corner spots.
Dylan Ingram, Freshman RS: So far in summer ball, has shown he can hit. Will compete for playing time.
Brent Rooker, Freshman RS: Another redshirt that will compete for playing time. He can play corner OF also.

2014 Losses: Alex Detz

Signees

Trent Waddell, Junior-JC Transfer: He had an arm problem this past year but still hit. He will get the chance at 1B and at pitcher. He bats and throws left. I can't wait to see him in the fall. He could be a diamond in the rough.
Cole Gordon, Freshman: He bats left, throws right. Another one that will play 1B and pitch. He can really mash the ball from the left side. Has a chance to DH in 2015.

**I expect major competition at this position for starter and backup.
