How many freshman on your team play?

4 play regularly
Mikie Mahtook starts at CF, Tyler Hanover starts at 3B, Austin Nola starts at SS, and Matty Ott is our closer.
The 3 position guys all started yesterday. Ott didn't pitch because we were up by an ass load (but he did get the save Sat night).

Grant Dozar (utility inf.) played in about half of our games, and Chris Matulis (LHP) was a midweek starter for most of the early part of the season.

OSU started 2 seniors, 4 juniors, and 3 sophomores in the lineup. The top 3 starters were soph, soph, junior. The setup man is a soph and the closer is a senior. He'll be the biggest loss.

The roster is heavily concentrated in sophomores and juniors. They lost a couple guys to transfer before the season and didn't have a way to replace them this year.
