Hello CollegeBaseball360 fans – this is Pete LaFleur, back joining my good friend and hard-working CB360 co-founder Sean Stires in bringing you some unique and interesting content to this site. I just wrapped up a busy couple weeks with my sister site, CollegeFencing360.com – which, believe it or not, has become a very popular site and valuable resource for the college fencing community. I've learned some good ideas from that site (related to content, technology, layout, publicity, etc.) that may be able to transfer in certain ways to CB360. ... Anyway, thanks so much to Sean for holding the fort – and here's looking to more (and expanded) coverage on CB360, all the way through the CWS and into the offseason.
One thing we will seek to do on this site is promote the ties between college baseball and the Major Leagues, helping remind the site visitors about who the college baseball alums are in the big leagues (and, of course, linking them to their college programs).
The 2009 World Baseball Classic featured 16 college baseball alums on the 28-player United States roster:
Heath Bell (RHP) – Rancho Santiago JC
Mark DeRosa (3B) – Penn
Adam Dunn (OF) – Texas
Curtis Granderson (OF) – Illinois-Chicago
Jeremy Guthrie (RHP) – Stanford
J.P. Howell (LHP) – Texas
Chris Ianetta (C) – North Carolina
Ted Lilly (LHP) – Fresno City JC
Matt Lindstrom (RHP) – Ricks JC (Idaho)
Roy Oswalt (RHP) – Holmes JC (Mo.)
J.J. Putz (RHP) – Michigan
Brian Roberts (2B) – North Carolina
Scott Shields (RHP) – Lincoln Memorial (Tenn.)
Brad Thornton (LHP) – Grand Valley State
Kevin Youkilis (1B/3B) – Cincinnati
Brad Ziegler (RHP) – (SW) Missouri State
The first World Baseball Classic (in 2006) also featured 16 college baseball alums, among that 28-player roster. Those 16 players included: catcher Jason Varitek (Georgia Tech), 1B Mark Teixeira (Georgia Tech), 2B Chase Utley (UCLA), SS Michael Young (UC Santa Barbara), OF Randy Winn (Santa Clara) and starting pitcher Roger Clemens (Texas), plus all 10 of the relief pitchers: Chad Cordero (CS Fullerton), Brian Fuentes (Merced JC), Todd Jones (Jacksonville St.), Brad Lidge (Notre Dame), Joe Nathan (Stony Brook), Shields (Lincoln Memorial), Huston Street (Texas) Mike Timlin (SW Texas), Billy Wagner (Ferrum) and Dan Wheeler (Central Arizona JC).
It's noteworthy that the 31 total college baseball alums listed above include several who played for colleges located in the Midwest or Northeast: DeRosa, Granderson, Lidge, Nathan, Putz and Youkilis.
