Fresno State Bulldogs
6-3 Record, Mountain West Conference​


RHP Ryan Jensen (2-6, 5.35) and LHP Nikoh Mitchell (4-3, 3.28) are slated to be Friday/Saturday starters after combining for 26 starts, 42 appearances and 125 innings. Jensen could be in store for a special season after hitting 99 on the gun at times in the fall, sitting at 94-95 consistently. Mitchell held opposing batters to a .197 average and is part of a large sophomore class that could lead to a big turnaround. Speaking of, LHP Jaime Arias (5-1, 3.69) was named a Freshman All American last year and will team with fellow sophomore Jamison Hill (3-5, 6.13, 5 saves) to lead a deep bullpen that has seven notable returnees who made 16 appearances or more last year.

OF Zach Ashford (.352/.406/.489) is called “one of the best hitters in the country” by his coaches and C Carter Bins (.301/.372/.526) could quietly be a serious contender for the Johnny Bench Award this season. The middle infield duo of 2B Nolan Dempsey (.307/.385/.439) and SS JT Arruda (.305/.391/.500) are a pair of solid defenders while also possessing a good bit of power in their sticks, hitting four and eight home runs a year ago, respectively. But the biggest lumberjack on the team is DH Zach Presno (yes, a Presno in Fresno), who only made 21 starts a year ago but hit eight home runs in his freshman season. Look for him to make a jump and also to fill in at catcher for Bins on occasion.
