♦ Missouri baseball enters first SEC season with stacked pitching rotation (The Maneater)
Knowing that he’d be the No. 1 man to start the season, Zastryzny spent the offseason perfecting his craft.

"Yeah, location of the off-speed is what I have been working on a lot, consistency too,” Zastrynzny said. “I know last year I would be like, 'Fastball and curveball are working, got to use that, or fastball-change up.' Now it's kind of like everything is working that's what I had to choose. Now I got some stuff to play with, it's not so predictable anymore...
♦ Series is a go despite tornado (Columbia Tribune)
Eric Anderson: "He looks really good. He's healthy and throwing very well," Jamieson said. "We're tempted, but we're probably going to hold back and wait until next weekend."
...
Shane Segovia: Segovia, penciled in as a starter on the left side of the infield, will make the trip and might get an at-bat.
...
Segovia's injury forced Dillon Everett to move from second base to shortstop, with Kendall Keeton, a junior college transfer from Walters State Community College, likely to start at second base. Mike McGraw will start at first and Keaton Steele will start at third for the Tigers.
♦ Missouri baseball counting on new look infield (Columbia Missourian)
“The journey begins with a lot of newcomers and a lot of questions,” said head coach Tim Jamieson. “What we want to do is answer those questions. The quicker we answer those questions, the better we play.”

Jamieson’s infield features several highly-touted junior college transfers that, if all goes well, will be the core of the infield. Everett is excited by the experience his new teammates bring to the table...

♦ Tossing back a 40 and Giving Thanks (College Baseball Today)
4- I’m thankful the RPI has changed.
Finally – FINALLY – the college baseball formula emulates the college basketball formula in rewarding road wins. What the hell took so long? Baseball is tougher to win on the road, especially with the considerable amount of travel involved. This was a long time coming. Look, I know the NCAA is made up of smart people, but this makes me question the NCAA’s competence level.
.
5- I’m thankful there are no more changes to the bats for 2013.
But get back with me in 365 days, I’m sure it’ll change. Either that or a rash of programs will announce they’re moving their fences in… shamefully...
