2010 Season Outlook A solid group of returning

players, plus a recruiting classwith 14 freshmen and one

junior college transfers, hasthe Willamette University baseball team seeking a highly successful season in 2010. The Bearcats hope to use increased speed and athletic ability to build on last year's 21-17 overall record and18-13 mark in Northwest Conference action. Providing leadership will be four returning starters in the field, plus the starting pitcher whothrew the most innings last spring. The returning starters at field positions are shortstop Doug Bloom (Jr.), left fielder T.C. Lee (Jr.), right fielder Mitchell Rowan (So.) and catcher Max Stepan (Jr.). The top returner onthe mound is right-hander Devin Grindy (So.). Last season, Bloom achieved a .290 batting average, with 10 doubles and three homers. He scored 36 runs, was 9 of 12 on stolen bases and led Willamette with 122 assists on defense. He has achieved a career batting average of .311to go with 89 hits, 75 runs and 49 RBIs. Bloom was chosen First Team All-NWC in 2008. He was an Honorable Mention All-NWCselection in 2009. Lee batted .347 last year, with nine doubles, one triple and nine home runs. He has poundedout 19 homers and 15 doubles during his career. He owns a solid .332 career batting average, and has recorded 55 runs and 61 RBIs. Lee was named Second Team All-NWC in 2008 and wasHonorable Mention All-NWC in 2009. As a freshman last year, Rowan hit .296. He concluded the season with five homers and six doubles. He ranked second on the team with 32RBIs and made 73 putouts in the outfield. Stepan split time at catcher last season and finished with a .273 batting average. He earnedsix doubles, one triple and two home runs. Grindy led the Bearcats in wins and innings pitched with a 5-5 record and 55 2/3 innings onthe mound. He recorded 15 strikeouts. Ten of Grindy's 11 appearances were starts. He registered victories over NWC opponentsLewis & Clark College, Whitworth University,

Whitman College, Linfield College and PacificUniversity. Linfield was ranked #16 in NCAA Division III when Grindy earned a 4-3 win onApril 19 to help WU split a 4-game series. The Bearcats graduated nine seniors last spring, including Kyle Stalker at first base andJack McGee at third base and pitcher. Stalker was named Third Team All-America and First Team All-NWC in 2008 and 2009. He set career school records with 51 homers and 161 RBIs. In 2009, he hit .455 with a team-high15 home runs. He established WU single seasonrecords with 22 homers and 63 RBIs in 2008. McGee hit .413 last spring, while leading theteam with 38 runs scored and 14 doubles. He also belted five home runs. As a pitcher, he was 3-0 with a 3.05 ERA and four saves. He pitchedin 11 games, including 10 relief appearances.

Pitching Grindy leads the way for the WU pitching staff as the most experienced starter from a year ago, but he isn't alone in providing the Bearcats with strength on the mound. Junior transferJerris Van Hess (RHP), from the College of theSiskiyous, will join Grindy as a starter.

T.C. Lee (Jr., LF) batted .347 last season withnine doubles, a triple and nine homers.

2010 Season Outlook The third starting position is up for grabs between several players. Returning pitcher Chris Torgerson (Jr., RHP), as well as freshmen JosephPelletier (LHP) and Jake Jones (RHP) will battle for the starting spot. WU will primarily use a three-man rotation since each NWC series willbe three games played over two days. Starting assignments may change if Ryan Hood-Taylor (Jr., RHP) returns to action. Hood-Taylor was WU’s top starter at the beginningof last season, but missed most of the year due to injury. He was 2-0 with a 3.66 ERA and 17strikeouts in 19 2/3 innings prior to his injury. The WU relief staff includes quality arms.Scott Martin (Sr., RHP), this year’s only senior, was 1-1 in 2009 and has pitched 31 times in his career. Andrew Wyman (Jr., RHP) was strongin 2009 with a 2.45 ERA and a 1-1 record. Heheld opponents to a .227 batting average. Other important relievers are sophomore Blake Paisley (RHP) along with freshmen ParkerJohnson (RHP), Brandon Simon (RHP) and Cameron DeLasantos (LHP). Pitching depthwill be provided to the Bearcats by Nate Bender (Jr., RHP), George Colton (Jr.,RHP) and SamEllsworth (Fr., LHP).

Catching Last year, Stepan platooned behind the plate and also was a designated hitter. He has a .304 career batting average with nine home runs and owns a .972 career fielding percentage. DylanSummers (So.) also will receive playing time at catcher. Depth will come from Ross Knutsen(Jr.) and Alex Brown (Fr.).

Infield Bloom will continue to anchor the infield at shortstop. He will work with new starters at the other infield positions. At first base, talented freshmen Kyle Kirwan and Derek Collins will battle for the starting job. Freshman Galen Duffhas earned the starting spot at second base. Returning infielders Tim Schilf (So.) andMichael Oliver (So.) will battle for playing timeat third base. Oliver played in 11 games last

year, mostly at first base, and hit .455. Schilf saw action in 15 games andearned 4 runs and 4 RBIs in 18 at bats.

Outfield The Bearcats have their greatest depth in the outfield, led by Lee and Rowan. Lee will remain in left field, where he achieved 56 putouts and two assists a year ago. Rowan will be one of four players rotating in center field and right field. He will be joined by returner Adam Reid (So.)and by freshmen Sky Kelley and Tyson Giza. Another player who will contribute in the outfield is Sam Sopko (Fr.). Utility players Mikey Lemon (So.) and Eli Kass (Fr.) will provide theBearcats with depth at a number of positions.

Overall Team The team’s top returning players -- Bloom, Lee, Rowan, Stepan and Grindy -- give the ’Catsa quality core to build around. The team lost some offensive power with Stalker and McGee graduating, but this year's squad is more athleticand has greater team speed. Pitching depth is also deeper at WU this season, with a combination of improvement by returning players plus the addition of several new pitchers. WU returns pitchers who threw 60% of the innings for the Bearcats last season. "Overall, it is an incredibly talented group, the most talented team in my four years here," said Head Coach Aaron Swick, who enters hissecond year as head coach following two years as an assistant. "Our pitching is significantly better than a year ago. We won't hit as many home runs as in years past, but we're more athletic and have some guys who can really run. With only one senior, our young players need experience earlyto be tested for our tough schedule." Willamette opens the year at the Northwest Nazarene Tournament in Nampa, Idaho, onFeb. 19-20. The Bearcats will travel to SouthernCalifornia for four games from Feb. 26-28. WUwill open its home schedule and NWC schedule with a three-game series against Lewis & Clark on March 6-7 at John Lewis Field.

The NCAA and the NWC

Willamette is a member of the National Collegiate Athletic Association and competes in Division III, which has over425 members and is the largestNCAA division. The colleges in Division III place a priority on the overall quality of theeducational experience and on successful completion of each student’s academicprograms. They seek an environment in which a student-athlete’s activities with anathletic team are seen as an integral part of his or her educational experience. Members in Division III must sponsor at least fivemen’s sports and five women’s sports.

Athletes in Division III do not receive financial aid related to athletic ability. Willamette and other NCAA Division III members encourage students to participate by maximizing the variety of athletic opportunities.Primary emphasis is placed on

conference and regional play. Willamette often sends its teams to California, Idaho,Washington and Texas for in-region games. NCAA Division III members establishan environment with cultural diversity and gender equity among student-athletes and staff. In Division III, faculty and staff careabout the well-being of student-athletes.

NCAA Division III

Northwest Conference The nine private collegesand universities in Oregonand Washington that form the Northwest Conference are building a reputation for the NWC as one of the top NCAA Division III leaguesin the nation. The NWC isnationally competitive in abroad spectrum of sports. Formed in 1926, the NWC is 80 yearsold and is one of the oldest conferences in the western United States. The NWC’s current members in Oregon are Willamette, George Fox, Linfield, Lewis and Clark, and Pacific. Members located in Washingtonare Pacific Lutheran, Puget Sound, Whitmanand Whitworth. Charter members included Willamette, the College of Idaho, Linfield, Pacific and Puget Sound. Albany College was addedin 1931, remained for seven years, and thenreturned in 1949 as Lewis & Clark College.

Pacific Lutheran joined in 1965 and was followed by Whitworth in 1970. TheCollege of Idaho withdrewfrom the conference in 1978.Whitworth dropped out in1984 and returned in 1988. Menlo joined in 2006 as a member in football only. TheNWC offers championships

in 18 sports (nine men’s and nine women’s). The NWC originally sponsored athletic competition for men’s sports only, but joined forces with the Women’s Conference of Independent Colleges in 1984 to formthe Northwest Conference of Independent Colleges. The name was shortened back to the original Northwest Conference in 1998. Also in 1998, all nine NWC members

shifted affiliation from the NAIA to the NCAA. Members knew the move

would foster equity, sportsmanship anda genuine concern for all student-athletes.
