Continued from Page 12
“I wish I knew what it was,” Johnson said. “He is a guy
that went from seven home runs to 34. That’s almost un
heard of. He really changed his game between his freshman
and sophomore year. He worked at it. It didn't happen by
accident.
“He did start to get a little bit different trajectory on the
ball from the plate. He started lifting it a little bit. 1 le hit some
unbelievable doubles for us as a freshman that, had he picked
it up some, would have been home runs. We worked on it,
but he was the one that made the adjustments.”
Holt started off the 1999 season with a bang, homering
four times in the Aggies’ first series against the University
of Texas-Pan American. But the home run record was not
even in his mind until a chat he had with former record hold
er, Aggie third baseman Craig Kuzmic.
“The first time it was brought to my attention, was after
the first series against Pan Am [University of Texas-Pan
American,]” Holt said. “Craig Kuzmic was here, and he
said, ‘What are you doing? You have a chance to break my
record.’
“And I said, ‘What are you talking about? I’ve only hit
four home runs.’ So it was brought to my attention there, but
I actually didn’t think it was going to happen until I had 24
or something like that.”
1 loll hit the record breaker against the University ofIfi,
and never looked back, becoming the first A&M playc
lead the nation in home runs.
He was also a major reason why the Aggies madeitto
College World Series in Omaha.
Holt was named first team All-American by the Air;
can Baseball Coaches Association, Baseball Americaanc
National College Baseball Writers Association.
Looking back on his breakout season, Holt still hast
ble believing it actually happened.
“It was unbelievable,” Holt said. “To go back ands.
ally think about it, it was unreal. We played around 70gr
and I hit 34 home runs, so that’s almost one every twoga:
That's crazy.”
With most of last year’s starters gone to minor lea
baseball, 1 loll has taken on a new role for this season-t
leader.
I lolt was named co-captain of the team along with sc
second baseman Sean Heaney.
While he does not expect to put the same numbers:
did last year, his goal for the team this year is exarth
same as it was last season.
“The expectation has to be to get back to Omaha,"-
said. "There’s no doubt. We were there and had ashor
last year so the only thing to do now is get back there.'
Interesting
Continued from Page 12
To expect a team of freshmen and
transfers to step in and replace those
numbers immediately is ludicrous.
But don’t expect the dropoff to hin
der the Aggies’ chances totally.
While the team won’t put up the
same gaudy numbers as last year’s
record setting team, the talented new
comers will give A&M a chance to win.
The mix of players who did return
with the infusion of new talent should
keep the Aggies competitive.
Team leaders like Holt and Sean
Heaney will be the heart and soul of
the team while talented freshmen Todd
Deininger, Travis Wong and Eric Reed
should step in and contribute immedi
ately.
So what does this season hold for
the Aggies? Throughout the season
there will definitely be highs and low s
and a third straight Big 12 champi
onship is hard to foresee.
With perennial w inner Oklahoma
State having a talented team and Texas
having its best team in years, a three-
peat will be extremely tough. But
when all is said and done, this team is
at least getting into a regional.
Even though it is a young team, it
is too talented and Coach Johnson is
too good of a coach not to get this
team to a regional. But after that, it’s
up in the air.
Actually, how far this team makes
it'into the postseason might rely a
how it starts off at the beginningo:
season.
If the Aggies stumble out oftk
blocks and the youngsters get disc
aged, it could spell doom for theAj
However, if A&M starts off qi It
and the new guys gain confidence I-
sky is the limit w ith this team. Be
cause if this talented bunch thinb
can win. it will spell troubleforec
one else.
So sit back, relax and enjoy an :
er exciting and extremely interest-
year of Aggie baseball. Seeyouas
