This Week in Baylor Baseball

Last Time Out
* FRIDAY: at #8 Baylor 3, #20 Texas Tech 1
Steven White struck out a career-high 12 batters and Baylor scored two unearned runs in the seventh as the Bears beat Texas Tech Friday night in each team's conference opener, 3-1. Baylor took advantage of two errors in the seventh to score the tie-breaking runs and defeat the Red Raiders for the first time since 2001. Freshman Abe Woody closed out the game, pitching the final two innings for his second save.
* SATURDAY: #20 Texas Tech 9, at #8 Baylor 8
Six Baylor errors led to four unearned runs as Texas Tech skipped past Saturday afternoon, 9-8. The six errors by the Bears doubled their previous season-high total of three. Four errors came in the first inning, as Texas Tech scored four unearned runs off Baylor starter Trey Taylor. The Bears' offense came to life in the fifth. Trailing 5-0, Baylor scored five times to tie the game, with the big hit being Michael Griffin's bases-loaded triple to left-center. The Bears then scored twice in the sixth to take a 7-5 lead, but the Red Raiders scored four runs off relievers Ryan LaMotta and Zane Carlson. In addition to the season-high six errors, the Bears also handed out seven walks, their highest total of the year.
* SUNDAY: at #8 Baylor 9, #20 Texas Tech 2
Josh Ford's three-run homer in the bottom of the first overcame an early Texas Tech lead Sunday, and Baylor went on to defeat the Red Raiders 9-2. The win gave Baylor its first series win over Texas Tech since 1999. After Tech scored twice in the first, Ford's homer in the bottom of the frame gave Baylor the lead to stay. Sean Walker lasted 6.1 innings despite allowing five walks to pick up the win. Ford drove in four runs on the day, while senior Ross Bennett and freshman Seth Fortenberry each hit their first home runs of the year.
Baylor in the Rankings
Baylor treaded water in the polls this week after pounding Houston and taking two out of three from Texas Tech in each team's conference-opening weekend.
Baylor held at No. 8 in Baseball America's poll, moved up one spot to No. 8 in Collegiate Baseball's poll, rose three places to No. 8 in the National Collegiate Baseball Writers' Association (NCBWA) poll, and held at No. 9 in the USA Today Sports Weekly/ESPN Coaches' Poll.
With a preseason ranking of No. 10 (Baseball America), the Bears tied their highest preseason ranking in program history. (Baseball America also ranked Baylor 10th prior to the 2000 season.)
Baylor's best-ever final ranking is No. 6 (Collegiate Baseball, 1978), while the team's highest ranking at any time was No. 3 (Baseball America, May 8, 2000). The Bears have ranked as high as No. 6 this season (May 3, Baseball America).
Bears' RPI Sky-High
Baylor ranks fourth in the nation in the Iterative Strength Rankings from BoydsWorld.com, through games of March 9. The ISRs are an alternate ranking formula similar to the RPI system. The Bears trail only Cal State Fullerton, Rice and Arizona State in the ISRs, and are ahead of Big 12 foes Texas A&M (6th), Texas (8th), Oklahoma (13th), Nebraska (19th) and Texas Tech (25th). Other Baylor opponents among the top 25 include Long Beach State (7th) and Arizona (9th).
BoydsWorld.com also offers a Pseudo-RPI, which attempts to duplicate the official RPI formula used by the NCAA in its tournament seeding. Baylor ranks 18th through games of March 9, tops in the Big 12. At 3-1, Illinois leads the early RPI listing; Baylor opponents in the top 25 include Rice (6th), Long Beach State (11th), Arizona (19th), Texas (20th) and Oklahoma (23rd).
Heading Home to North Texas
Eight Bears will be heading home to North Texas Tuesday as Baylor faces TCU. Returning to the site of their prep days will be a pair of Mansfield natives in junior Trey Webb and sophomore Trey Taylor. Other Bears from the area include senior Chris Durbin (Wylie), junior Zane Carlson (Highland Park), sophomores Michael Griffin (Dallas Cedar Hill) and Mike Heldoorn (Southlake Carroll) and freshmen Tyler Bullock (Ft. Worth R.L. Paschal) and Russell Reichenbach (Hurst L.D. Bell).

Durbin Starting Off On Right Foot
As the Bears' lead-off hitter, Chris Durbin is starting off games right -- by getting on base.
When leading off the first inning, the senior centerfielder has reached base 14 times in 22 games (six hits, eight walks) for an on-base percentage of .636. Ten of those times that he has reached base, he has come around to score.
The Bears are 10-4 in games when Durbin gets on base to start the first inning, and 8-2 in games in which he comes around to score.
Bennett's Bat Burning Up Opposition
Senior Ross Bennett began last weekend as the leading hitter in the Big 12 Conference and continues to lead the Bears, bringing in a season average of .493 to Tuesday's game at TCU.
That total was only boosted during Bennett's career-best 10-game hitting streak (Feb. 23-March 14), during which time he hit .588 (20-for-34) with 11 RBI.
Bennett has raised his career average 20 points this season, vaulting into third place in the Baylor recordbooks at .353 (150-for-425).
The senior from Cape Girardeau, Mo., w as named Big 12 Player of the Week for games played Feb. 24-March 2 for his feats against UT-San Antonio and UC-Irvine. For the week, Bennett hit .786 (11-for-14) with five RBI and five runs scored.
Bennett's selection gave the Bears back-to-back Players of the Week, after Chris Durbin was so honored the week before. The honor was the first of Bennett's career.
White Moving Up the Charts
Senior starter Steven White has put his name into the Baylor recordbooks, ranking among the top 10 in multiple career records. White is within reach of setting a new school record for career starts; he is currently in third place with 47 career starts, three shy of Josh Scott's record of 50.
White is also fifth in career strikeouts with 242, tied for fifth with 22 career wins and sixth in career innings pitched (282.1).
Durbin's Bat Rewriting Baylor Recordbook
Senior Chris Durbin continues to make his mark on the Baylor recordbook. Durbin's career average of .348 ranks fourth all-time in program history. The centerfielder is also within one double of the school's career doubles record (64, Eric Nelson, 1996-99).
Durbin already holds the school single-season doubles record, having pounded out 25 two-base hits in both 2001 and 2002. On the Baylor career charts, Durbin ranks among the top 10 in doubles (t-2nd), average (4th), hits (4th), extra-base hits (4th), runs (4th), slugging percentage (6th), total bases (6th), home runs (t-7th) and RBI (8th).
Bears Best in the Big 12
Baylor has the best conference record of any team in the Big 12 Conference since the league's start in 1997. At 111-60 (.6491), the Bears are just percentage points ahead of Texas Tech (113-61-1, .6486). Included in the first six seasons are one Big 12 championship (2000) and a pair of runner-up finishes (1998, 1999).
Baylor also leads all conference schools in Big 12 history in both first team All-Big 12 selections (18) and in first team Academic All-Big 12 selections (30).
Closer Carlson Nears Another Saves Record
With four saves this season, junior closer Zane Carlson now has 27 for his career. That total stands just one shy of the Big 12 Conference career saves record of 28, set by Oklahoma's Jeff Bajenaru (1999-2000).
Carlson already holds the Baylor career and single-season saves records; he laid claim to both records after saving 15 games as a freshman in 2000. Carlson also holds the Cape Cod League career saves record with 24. The NCAA record is 49, set by Southern California's Jack Krawczyk (1995-98).
Bears' Schedule Toughest in Nation
Baylor's 2003 schedule is the toughest in the nation, according to a statistical measure produced at the start of the season at BoydsWorld.com and based on teams' 2002 records.
Nine of the Bears' 2002 opponents qualified for the NCAA Tournament a year ago: Houston, Long Beach State, Louisiana-Lafayette, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Rice, Southern California, Texas and Texas Tech. Of those, Nebraska, Rice and Texas each advanced to the College World Series last year, with the Longhorns coming away as national champions.
Smith Reaches Another Milestone
Friday's game against Texas Tech marked head coach Steve Smith's 500th game at the helm of the Bears.
Earlier this season, Smith earned his 300th career win (Feb. 9 at Arizona, an 11-9, 11-inning victory). Now in his ninth season at the helm of the Bears, Smith holds a career-record of 315-186-1, all at Baylor.
Smith leads all Baylor coaches in career winning percentage (.628), and he trails only Baylor legend Mickey Sullivan among Bears' head coaches in total wins. Sullivan, whom Smith replaced in 1995, compiled a 649-428 record while helming the Bears from 1974-1994.
Baylor-Missouri Game Picked For TV
The Baylor-Missouri game on April 19 has been picked as one of five games to air on Fox Sports Net as part of the Big 12 Conference television package.
The other four games to be aired are Nebraska at Oklahoma (March 29), Kansas State at Texas (April 26), Texas A&M at Texas (May 17) and the Phillips 66 Big 12 Tournament Championship Game (May 25). All four games will be aired regionally by Fox Sports Net's Southwest, Rocky Mountain and Midwest affiliates.
The April 19 game vs. Missouri, set for 3 p.m., will be the Bears' 20th televised game since 1988; Baylor is 9-10 on TV during that time. Baylor will also likely have at least one more televised game as part of the Lone Star Series; any additional televised dates will be announced at a later date.
Six Bears Named All-Tournament in Houston
Six Bears were named to the 2003 Minute Maid Park College Classic All-Tournament Team, led by Most Outstanding Player Michael Griffin. The sophomore left fielder hit .517 in three games with a double, a triple, a home run, four runs scored and 4 RBI. Griffin became the third Bear in three years to be named tournament MVP at the Astros' classic, following Kelly Shoppach (2001) and Tim Hartshorn (2002).
Joining Griffin on the all-tournament team were Josh Ford (C), Paul Witt (2B), Trey Webb (SS), Chris Durbin (OF) and David Murphy (OF).
Webb Snares Top Honor
Baseball America named junior shortstop Trey Webb the top defender among this year's draft-eligible collegiate players.
The publication noted that "While he's relatively small at 5-foot-11 and 160 pounds, SS Trey Webb is the hands-down choice as the top college defender at a premium position. He has soft hands, good range and enough arm strength to be a legitimate shortstop in pro ball."
Griffin's Six Hits Set Record
Sophomore Michael Griffin went 6-for-6 Feb. 9 at Arizona, setting a new school record for hits in a game. Griffin broke the previous record of five hits, which had been accomplished 18 times, including once last season by teammate Trey Webb.
Griffin knocked out five singles and a home run in the Bears' 11-9, 11-inning win over the Wildcats and tied his career-high with six RBI.
Baylor Home Attendance Ranked
The Baylor baseball program finished the 2002 season 15th in the nation in average home attendance, according to numbers released by the NCAA.
In 31 home dates, 89,343 fans came through the turnstiles at Baylor Ballpark, an average of 2,882 fans per game. The 2002 average was the best in program history, while the total attendance was third-best in Baylor's nearly 100 years of baseball. The Bears' total home attendance was the 18th highest total in the nation for 2002.
Baylor has ranked among the top 20 programs in the nation in average and total attendance each year since moving into Baylor Ballpark, with program-best rankings of ninth in average attendance and 13th in total attendance set in 2001.
It's In Their Blood
As might be expected, a number of this year's Bears have sports -- baseball or otherwise -- in their blood. Notable examples:
Freshman infielder Kyle Reynolds' father Craig played fifteen seasons in the major leagues (1975-1989), including 11 with the Houston Astros. Craig was selected for the 1978 and 1979 All-Star Games.
Redshirt sophomore Reid Brees' brother Drew became a household name among college football fans when he finished third in the 2000 Heisman voting while at Purdue. Drew is now the starting quarterback for the San Diego Chargers.
Freshman Russell Reichenbach's uncle, Mickey Reichenbach, was named the 1975 College World Series MVP while a sophomore at Texas. A four-year lettermen for the Longhorns, Mickey hit .455 with three doubles and a home run to earn MVP honors.
Baylor Ballpark No. 3 Stadium in the Nation
Baylor Ballpark was named the No. 3 collegiate baseball park in the country in a nationwide survey of college coaches released by Baseball America in January.
In voting by the nation's coaches, Baylor Ballpark placed third, just behind Auburn's Plainsman Park and Arkansas' Baum Stadium. Nebraska's Haymarket Park and LSU's Alex Box Stadium rounded out the top five.
College media relations contacts were also asked to vote on their favorite stadiums. Baylor Ballpark finished fourth in that survey, behind Auburn, Mississippi State's Dudy Noble Field and Arkansas.
The survey asked coaches and media relations contacts to rank their top 10 parks based on aesthetics, facilities (dugout, locker rooms, extra cages/bullpens, etc.), fan amenities, playing conditions and tradition.
Baylor Developing Pro Prospects
Baseball America/Perfect Game recently recognized Baylor as one of the top programs in the nation at producing top professional prospects.
In BA/PG's list of the Top 100 Professional Prospects for in College Baseball for the 2003 and 2004 drafts, Baylor was one of only six schools in the nation to have three or more prospects listed among the Top 100 in both 2003 and 2004. (The others: Arizona State, Rice, Stanford, Texas and Southern California).
Baylor and USA Baseball
Last fall, USA Baseball named Baylor the 26th-best program in the nation at providing players for the USA National Team.
Five Bears have played a total of six seasons wearing the Red, White and Blue: Pat Combs (1988), Jason Jennings (1997-98), Bryan Loeb (1998), Jon Topolski (1998) and Zane Carlson (2000).
Stanford, Miami, Cal State Fullerton, Southern California and Florida State were recognized as the top five programs based on their contributions to USA Baseball from 1984-2002.

Baylor Alums in the Pros
19 former Bears will begin the 2003 season at some level of professional ball. Leading the way are former first-round picks Jason Jennings and Kip Wells, who are leading members of the rotations for the Colorado Rockies and Pittsburgh Pirates, respectively.
