We have an 'older' club this year. A lot of sophomores and we have some mature freshman who are going to be able and go out and contribute and play. [They will] contribute in a lot of ways to help this team out, to compete to win the Jayhawk West again, compete for the Region VI Final and compete for a national title.

More Chris Finnegan on Wikipedia.Some of our freshmen that came in were banged up a little bit. [They] played a lot of ball in the spring, summer, then coming into the fall they had some nagging injuries that turned into being a little bit more than just nagging. We got them cleaned up and within the next three weeks we should be back to 100 percent.
It was great to see Adam out on the mound competing for nine innings. His pitch count was low and the defense made some big time plays [behind him].
Going into the spring we've made a lot of adjustments [offensively]. The team has bought into our philosophy. They've done really well making the adjustments, they haven't tried to fight it and its just going to be a matter of time once everybody is completely comfortable with it.
Last year we didn't have a lot of depth; this year we do. We have a lot of quality players coming off the bench this year. They understand their role. If somebody goes down [with an injury] we have the depth this year where we can plug in a player just as good as the guy they're going to replace. Last year we didn't have that [depth] and at times it put us in the hole.
Offensively, we struggled quite a bit this fall at times. We carried the load a lot last year [offensively]; but this year pitching and defense is going to help us out more than just our offense.
[Six] wins was huge. We played very well and put ourselves into position to host the first round of the playoffs.
