The Aggies had more representa tives than any school other than the national-champion University of Mi ami (Fla.). The three Aggies raised the total number of A&M players on the team to 10. Previous winners were: Rod Bernstine, Kevin Murray and Domi ngo Bryant (1986 Cotton Bowl); Curtis Dickey and David Appleby (1978 Hall of Fame Bowl): and d otty Franklin and Robert Jackson (1977 Sun Bowl). The national-champion Hurri canes placed four players on the Baseball Graphic by Susan C. Akin team —linebacker Bernard Clark, defensive lineman Derwin Jones, place kicker Greg Cox and punter Jeff Feagles. Clark won the defensive “clutch” award, while Florida State quar terback Danny McManus was named “clutch” player on offense. Texas wide receiver Tony Jones was the only other Southwest Con ference player on the team. A&M’s 10 selections is second only to Arkansas (11) among SWC schools. Louisiana State, the University of Nebraska, the University of Michi gan and Michigan State each had two players on the team. (continued from page 9) senior year at Bellaire High School. “It’s going to be a tough job,” Knoblauch said. “But I’ve got to go out and do the best I can do and not worry about him (Magallanes). I was in that situation last year with (Mike) Scanlin in centerfield. It’s not going to bother me that much. “It’s the first time in a couple of years, so it’s real uncomfortable,” Knoblauch said about playing short stop. “In the fall I wasn’t really into it. Now I’m more comfortable. I think it just took that little time pe riod to get adjusted back to it — get ting back in the motion of fielding a ground ball instead of catching a fly ball. “I think Coach (Mark Johnson) is really impressed with my progress and double-play feeds to the second baseman. I’m getting better and bet ter every day. It’s just a matter of time and work.” As far as the sophomore jinx is concerned, Knoblauch said he hasn’t really put much thought into it. “We we’re talking about it the other day with one of our coaches,” Knoblauch said. “Now that our names are known, we’re not just some freshman who they’re going to come right at and see what we can do. We’ve proved ourselves and now they know who we are. They’re going to try to pitch around us. I think that’s what happened to Scott his sophomore year. “The pressure will be on us, but 1 hadn’t really thought about it. I just go out and do the best I can.” Sean Snedeker will be looked to to provide leadership on and off the mound this season for the Aggies. Snedeker, along with Livingstone and catcher Maury Martin, was named team captain by Johnson. Snedeker tallied an 8-2 record last season and had a 6-1 record playing in Latin America for Athletes in Ac tion against “off-and-on compet ition.” Although he was slowed by a sprained ankle early in practice, Sne deker said he is ready to play. “I’m ready to get going,” Sne deker said. “I think I’ve improved a lot during the summer. My confi dence is up.” A&M’s pitching staff seems to be the only question mark on this year’s club, largely because of its lack of ex perience. But Snedeker said he sees the pitchers making marked im provements. “I think since the fall, three or four guys have stepped forward and are going to be able to help us a lot," he said. “We have three left-handers who will definitely come in and help out. You can never have too many left-handers. We’ve got a few return ers who have made a steady im provement.” Snedeker said he thinks the team is comparable to the 1987 club that missed tying the school record for wins by one. “Offensively, I think we’re just as good or better than we were last year,” he said. “We’ve got a lot of depth at a lot of positions. A lot of guys can really stroke the ball. I feel we’re ahead in that department. De fensively, we’re just as good. The pitching stafFs going to have to come around.” According to the polls, the Aggies should field a strong ball club this season. One poll had A&M ranked sixth, while another placed the Ag gies 15th. The players aren’t sure what to think of the high rankings. “The No. 6 ranking doesn’t really mean anything to me,” Livingstone said. “I think it’s a little more correct that we’re the 15th. But as the season moves along, 1 think we can be up in the top 10. There’s going to be pres sure from other teams gunning for us and 1 think that’s going to make us a better ball club.” Knoblauch said, “1 don’t know if we’re that good. I’m glad we’re get ting the recognition. But we’re hav ing to work harder because people know we’re in the top 10. They’re going to be shooting at us. W’e’re going to be seeing a lot of the best pitchers the other teams have.” Snedeker said being ranked high has advantages and disadvantages. “There are good points and bad points,” he said. “The good thing about being ranked so high is that it might give you somewhat of an in timidation factor. Teams will come in going, ‘Man! These guys are ranked No. 6.’ It’s good to get the recognition. “On the bad side of being ranked number six, everyone’s after you. (Teams will be saying) ‘Let’s knock these guys off.’ It’s made the team really work hard.” Knoblauch said one particular strength A&M has this season is the closeness among the players. “I think the team chemistry is the re,” he said. “Last year, there was a lot of us young guys and a lot of old guys. Now I think everybody’s closer because we’re in the same age group. I think that helps a lot. I think that’s the only difference between this year and last year. Talent-wise it’s there. The team chemistry might help us go that extra step.” That extra step would he to reach the College World Series. Last sea son A&M missed making the series by one game when it was eliminated by eventual national runner-up Ok lahoma State in the Mideast Re gional. “The guys who were here last year really felt what it was like to come so close to making the World Series,” Snedeker said. “So the veterans are really hungry for it. We want to get there — that’s our goal. “Now we know we’re capable of making it to the College World Se ries. A few of the new guys are start ing to feel that. As soon as it really kicks in with them, that we have as good a chance as anybody to make it to the College World Series, we’ll really get going.” Speed Reading Free one hour lesson!
