Posted at 4:00pm -- 11/1/2007Ray Fisher Stadium:
Ray Fisher Stadium is really coming together and will be a great place for not only the fans to watch baseball games, but also for the coaches, players and recruits. Some college programs might have bigger stadium, that glitters more and fancier around the country, but the "Fish" will serve Michigan very well and be a huge upgrade from what they had in the past. Michigan will be able to host regional and super-regional games this coming year if they are ranked high enough in 2008 season. The construction is supposed to be done late December or early January depending on weather.
A huge upgrade compared to what they have had in the past in which you have to thank Coach Maloney going out and getting the donors to not only support his team, but believe in his program and the direction he is leading the Michigan baseball team. A big thank you to the Wilpon family who not only is supporting the baseball team, but the softball team as well and creating the Wilpon Baseball and Softball complex which will help join the two stadiums and make them fan friendly.
Going into 2008 season Michigan will be the hunted instead of the hunters. They are returning many of the key players from last years super-regional team that will look to improve and take Rich Maloney's Michigan team to the College World Series this year. Zach Putnam who can play in the field when he is not pitching, Adam Abrahan who can play third when he is not pitching, Chris Fetter, Mike Wilson as well as bullpen helpers in Michael Powers and Ben Jenzen. First baseman Nate Recknagel, second baseman Kevin Cislo, shortstop Jason Christian and left fielder Derek VanBuskirk. Leif Mahler who played shortstop will be returning after missing the 2007 season because of injury.
Leif Mahler, Adam Abraham and Derek VanBuskirk will be leading this team as tri-captains.
