Rocky Ward
College Baseball Blog WAC correspondent and bleedCrimson.net editor Sam Wasson recently sat down with New Mexico State head baseball coach Rocky Ward. The Aggie baseball season begins February 20th and Coach Ward provided an update on the team as they ready for the 2009 season. The Aggies completed a successful fall practice season and we have Coach Ward’s thoughts on his team. In this interview he talks about his outfielders.
LF: We’ve moved [Leo] Aguirre from a 1B/DH role to left field. Leo’s not a real good runner, but he’s really really worked hard this fall. He’s cut his 60-yard dash speed by about 4/10ths of a seconds which is practically unheard of. He’s really worked hard, he played there a couple innings last year just to get him in the lineup because late in the year he was just hot. Almost a must have in the lineup guy. We project him going into the year to be the starting left fielder. He’s not going to go take balls off the wall but he’ll catch stuff that he gets to, he throws the ball accurately, breaks well. When you go back and look at his fall statistics he hit .468 with 11 doubles and six home runs, 32 RBIs in 94 at bats.
This is the best offensive fall team we’ve ever put together. Will it become the best offensive spring team in the school’s history? It very well might.

Richard Stout

The adage speed kills and strength punishes is often used to motivate athletes when they’re training. Senior Richard Stout uses his speed on the bases as a weapon to victimize pitchers much like an assassin uses his favorite weapon to eliminate his targets.
Stout has led the Western Athletic Conference for two straight seasons with 26 and 20 stolen bases in 2007 and 2008 respectively. He was also second team All-WAC last year as a junior and was just named to the preseason All-WAC team this year.
“I would say because of my God-given speed I can steal no matter what,” Stout said. “But I would say when I’m best, I know I feel good and it doesn’t matter usually what the (pitching) count is because I get good jumps.”
