Losing seven players from last year’s squad, the IU baseball team certainly needed to reload in a quick fashion if it wanted to improve on last year’s Big Ten Tournament championship. Fortunately, it didn’t have to look too far to find a talented new pitcher for the 2010 campaign.

Coming off a 2009 season with arguably IU’s most talented baseball team in its century-old history, the Hoosiers are going to have to get creative.

O’Gara said a regional scout for the Marlins had been in touch with him the day before regarding where Florida might take him. So he wasn’t all that surprised when the call came in, making him the sixth of seven IU Hoosiers picked in the 2009 Major League Baseball Draft.

EVAN CRAWFORD

By Zachary Osterman · Wednesday, June 10,2009 8:41 p.m.

Crawford is probably one of the highest-potential players in the draft. He’s got several tools – great speed, a strong arm and a solid bat.

MATT BASHORE

By Zachary Osterman · Wednesday, June 10,2009 8:37 p.m.

Bashore had perhaps the best draft prospects of any Hoosier coming into this season, but a slow start in the non-conference schedule caused him to slip.

ERIC ARNETT

Arnett’s draft stock soared after a senior season that saw him notch a 12-2 record with a 2.50 ERA. His long 6-5 frame and athleticism tantalized scouts, vaulting him into the first round.

Five Hoosiers, Eric Arnett, Josh Phegley, Matt Bashore, Evan Crawford and Kipp Schutz, were all picked in the MLB draft Tuesday through Wednesday. Arnett, Phegley and Bashore were all Top-50 recruits.

IU's season makes prospects look bright

By DeAntae Prince · Wednesday, June 3,2009 7:43 p.m.
