by Kristina Vicario - February 26, 2015February 27, 2015

(Photo: Kimmy Davis/WCSN) An inning removed from his shortest relief appearance of the season and an 0-for-3 night at the plate, Jordan Aboites needed a morale booster. The two-way second baseman-relief pitcher came through in a big way for both himself and his team, as his walk-off single in the ninth propelled

(Photo: Dominic Cotroneo/WCSN) After a promising start, Arizona State was plagued by errors and baserunning mistakes in a 3-2 loss in the rubber match against the No. 1 TCU Horned Frogs. The Sun Devils, who entered the game ranked No.9, were in need of a bounce back start from Darin Gillies,

ASU Baseball: Ybarra shoulders the load, 3-run blast gives Sun Devils a 7-6 win

(Photo: Dominic Cotroneo/WCSN) On an afternoon in which ASU needed to squeak one out to even the series over the No.1 TCU Horned Frogs, pitcher Ryan Kellogg was able to settle down after a shaky start and get the 7-6 win. If one were to look at the stats, it would seem that

ASU Baseball: Woodmansee’s game-winning double and Burr’s history-making evening propel Sun Devils to 7-4 win

by Jacob Garcia - February 18, 2015February 19, 2015

(Photo: Kimmy Davis/WCSN) Colby Woodmansee hit .200 a season ago, and despite his defensive wonders at shortstop, was benched in the latter half of the season because of his offensive struggles. In 2015, he’s not only been a transformed hitter, but arguably the Sun Devils' best hitter. Woodmansee went 3-for-4 with two singles and

ASU Baseball: Examining the projected use of the wealth of freshman bullpen depth

by Jacob Garcia - February 17, 2015February 17, 2015

(Photo: Kimmy Davis/WCSN) The now-No. 9 Arizona State Sun Devil baseball team may have taken two of three from formerly-No. 5 Oklahoma State this weekend, but an interesting, counter-intuitive, stat revealed itself. ASU’s starting pitchers combined for 12 innings pitched, while the bullpen accumulated 16 innings of work over the three-game series. This reliance

ASU Baseball: With a changeup added to his arsenal and improved command, Ryan Burr has transformed from a thrower into a pitcher

by Jacob Garcia - February 4, 2015

(Photo: Dominic Cotroneo/WCSN) Making the leap from thrower to pitcher may be the single most important step in the development of a young hurler. The difference—between thrower and pitcher—may seem trivial, but the 2015 season for Arizona State baseball (and Ryan Burr, in particular) will be the perfect opportunity to showcase its importance. Left-hander

If you happened to miss the first two parts, Wednesday’s edition covered coaches’ and players’ takeaways from the first practices of the season and how the team is handling numerous off-the-field distractions, and Thursday’s centered on
