Texas A&M’s Matt Wilson, Adam
Bob and Alex Morris were named to
the the All-Bowl team this week.
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.”
