With the season only two weeks away, Coach Britton has announced the official roster for the 2019 season. We are going to break down the roster and look at their chances of competing in the conference this year.
The Staff
The staff is led by freshman phenom, Marion Frese. Frese is a lefty who sits in the low 90's but can rev it up to 94 on occasion. Frese has good control and a solid slider changeup combo. Senior transfer from Lewis-Clark State, an NAIA school in Idaho, Toby Donovan, a RHP, has been named the Saturday starter. Donovan sits between 86 and 88, touching 90, and has a solid slider. His changeup isn't anything special, but he'll likely use it a decent amount against left-handed hitters. The Sunday starter, RHP Kyle Cordido, a juco transfer from Mountain Pointe College in North Dakota, has a fastball that sits from 87 to 89, touching 91. He has a decent curveball and will be working on a changeup next offseason according to Britton. The Tuesday starter will be RHP Austin Cust, a sophomore juco transfer from Brooks College in Oregon. Cust sits 80 to 82 on his fastball, touching 84. However, Cust is a sidearmer, and has a nice cutter changeup combo with a curveball he is working on. In the bullpen, we find another freshman phenom who will likely be the closer, RHP Shelby Pote. Pote sits 91 to 93, touching 95, and has phenomenal control. Pote only throws one breaking pitch though, but it is a wipeout slider. The other notable arms in the bullpen are freshman RHP Tyler Shibilo, who sits 85 to 87, touching 89, with a nasty curveball changeup combo, and junior juco transfer, RHP Domingo Avalos, who sits 86 to 88, touching 90, with a 3 breaking ball repertoire that includes a slider, curveball, and forkball.
The Catchers
The catchers on the travel roster are freshman, Hunter File, who has good contact and speed to go along with tremendous defense behind the plate, including one of the best arms we have ever seen, and junior, Edwin Villalta, who can hit for some power and provide some solid defense behind the plate.
The Infield
Across the diamond, from first to third, we have Tony Sandberg, Jacob Dransfeldt, Derrick Sessions, and Devin Zerbe. Sandberg, a junior from Westlake College in Wyoming, hits for power and is very fast for his build and position. Dransfeldt, a freshman, was a very highly touted recruit from Laramie High School in Wyoming, and is a very toolsy player. He has good contact and power, and is very fast. He also has a good arm at second base, and his range is solid, but could use some improvement. At shortstop is the senior transfer from Hawaii Pacific University, Derrick Sessions. Sessions doesn't have a good bat, but is very fast and has a top notch arm at shortstop. His defense is alright, but nothing special. And at third base, the sophomore transfer from Arizona State, Devin Zerbe, has great contact, but his defense makes him elite. He has a cannon arm and exceptional range at the hot corner. They also have another good second baseman, freshman, Zack Calloway, who should expect to get a lot of playing time this year. Calloway hits for power and has tremendous speed. He also has solid range at second.
The Outfield
The outfield seems to be the strongest area for the Broncos. The outfield is led by freshman star, Gabe Hodge, who will play LF. Hodge is the closest you can find to a 5-tool player on the Broncos as he pretty much excels at every aspect of baseball. In center, you find junior, Dawson Reynolds. Reynolds does everything pretty solid, but doesn't have any part of his game that's special. He should contribute some hits and some good plays in the outfield this year. And starting in RF, another freshman, Casey Jeroloman. Jeroloman is very fast and covers some serious range in the outfield. He is also an above average hitter that should contribute right away this year.
