Battalion Staff It didn’t take long for Aggie baseball coach Tom Chandler to answer when asked about his team’s biggest problem going into the 1983 season. “Pitching,” he said. Chandler knows how impor tant pitching is for a team that hopes to be in contention for the Southwest Conference cham pionship. He knows from ex perience. Last year the Texas A&M pitching staff was billed as one of the strongest in conference, but faltered early in conference play and never fully recovered. The Aggies finished fourth in con ference behind Texas, Arkansas and Houston. So naturally, after losing ATTENTION 24-HOUR BANKING IS AT YOUR FINGERTIPS WITH Teller 2 AGGIES...

DOING MORE. /■■IRSTClTY First City National Bank of Bryan Member FDIC most of his 1982 hurlers, Chandler is doing all he can to improve his pitching staff this fall while the chips aren’t down. “It’s just a matter of getting a little depth in the pitching staff,” he said. “During the fall, our primary objective is to teach. And that’s what we’re doing now, just teaching fundamen tals.” One returning starter who should make it easier for Chand ler to rebuild is Rick Luecken. “He was a high draft choice of the Cincinati Reds, but decided to spurn the bonus money and play for us again,” Chandler said. “So he’s expected to be the ace of the staff. Our other re turning pitchers are Robert Slavens, Sherman Corbett and Phillip Taylor.” Chandler said that freshmen Barry Smith, Scott Deskins, Mike Perkins and Todd Tschantz might be able to help | the Aggie pitching staff, but he I said they are still undeveloped. ! Other returning players for the Aggies are catchers Mark Magee and Scott Abel, first base- man Buddy Haney, second baseman Clint Heard and out fielders Billy Cannon, Kevin Smith and Tom Dean Chandler. The most competition during fall workouts has been for start ing positions at shortstop and third base, Chandler said. “We have a lot of newcomers that have looked good so far,” he said. “Tim Cartwright, Todd Edwards and squadman Rusty Roberts at shortstop and Tony Metoyer at third base. So far the whole team has been working extremely hard. Overall the pitching is questionable so what we’re trying to do is really im prove the defense, which helps the pitching.” Offensively, the hard work has already proven successful, Chandler said. * ' * V* .
