2013 OUTLOOK Hofstra Baseball enjoyed its finest season to date in 2012, winning a school record 34 games and finishing second in the Colonial Athletic Association. The Pride, which was picked 10th in the CAA before the season started last year, surprised people with their exciting, high-scoring brand of baseball under first-year Head Coach John Russo. The team set eight team records in 2012 and ranked in the top-eight in 10 NCAA Statistical categories, including leading the nation in doubles and stolen bases per game. dalton rouleau But as the team enters the 2013 season that element of surprise is gone. Expectations around the program are high as the CAA Coaches picked the Pride to finish second in the league this season, as did several college baseball publications. The high expectations are likely warranted for a team that returns its entire pitching staff and five position starters from a season ago. The return of senior Joe Perez, who missed 2012 to injury, gives the Pride a sixth field player with extensive starting experience. Of course, Russo and company will have to contend with the losses of All-American Danny Poma and All-CAA selection Kevin Flynn to graduation, and of CAA Defensive Player of the Year Matt Ford to injury, but there is more than enough talent to produce another successful campaign. Infield Senior All-CAA selection Jared Hammer returns to man first base. A four year starter, Hammer was named a preseason All-American and the CAA Preseason Co-Player of the Year after batting .376 with 18 doubles, four home runs and a conference-best 66 RBIs last season. Russo will be counting on Hammer to deliver another big season as a middle of the the season. Russo expects even more from a healthy Rouleau at the top of the order in 2013. In addition to his offensive prowess, Rouleau was a steady defensive presence at short and teamed with Ford to form arguably the best middle infield tandem in the CAA and one of the best in the nation. jared hammer order hitter and also provide a steady defensive presence at first as he has made just three errors over the last two seasons. The loss of Ford at second base opens the door for freshman Kevin Brantley. A two-time offensive Most Valuable Player at Wekiva High School in Apopka, Florida, Brantley batted over .400 in both his sophomore and junior seasons. joe perez Senior All-CAA selection Dalton Rouleau is back at shortstop after a stellar first year with the Pride. The Lompoc, California, native batted .328 with five home runs, 31 RBIs, 51 runs scored and 26 stolen bases in 2012 despite playing with an injured hand for nearly one month of 2013 BASEBALL 9
