Bishop Chatard: The Trojans were hurt by graduation up the middle in shortstop/pitcher Bobby Akin, second baseman/pitcher Steve Maniago and center fielder Shawn Nickleson but return plenty of experience at the corners. First baseman/pitcher Chris Jansen is the top returning hitter with a .433 average and was 3-1 with three saves and a 2.26 ERA. Garrett Arnold is back as the No. 1 starter after going 7-4 with a 3.61 ERA. Outfielder/pitcher T.J. Agnew will give the team a lift after missing last season with a torn anterior cruciate ligament. Shortstop/pitcher Paul Mpistolarides leads the newcomers.
