Around The Horn

Sure here at Defend The Rock our focus so far has mainly been Basketball, but as promised, we will attempt to cover a wide range of IU althetics.

The sports nearest and dearest to my heart is baseball. Now, I must admit, I never really was an IU Baseball fan, mainly due to the fact I never really got into college baseball, not the fact that the team was dreadful. Occassionally I'd head up to Sembower Field and watch 'em get crushed but I never really got behind the team.

Well, there is a whole new season on its way, and this is a whole new blog, so let's give 'em some love.

A few incoming recruits:


Kyle Leiendecker, a 6'2 lefty SP. Couldn't find too much about him other than Coach Smith's praise.
Brock Huntzinger, a 6'3 righty SP. Gotta like the 72 k's and only 37 hits in 52 innings he had last year for Pendleton Heights. Record of 5-1, 2 Saves, 2.02 ERA
Ethan Wilson, a 6' SS. .370AVG/102Bs/33Bs/32RBIs/10SB.
Johsh Phegley, 5'11 SP/C, named Indiana's Mr. Baseball (in the company of the St. Louis Cardinals' Scott Rolen!) He finished last season with a .600AVG, exhibiting excellent defense behind the plate, all while being the #1 Pitcher for his team.
