Oakton Baseball Players Receive Preseason Recognition
Four Oakton Community College baseball players have been named "Junior College Players to Watch in 2006" by Collegiate Baseball Newspaper.
Ryan Stobart, a transfer from Southern Illinois who can throw 90 miles per hour, was named one of the nation's top junior college right-handed pitchers.
Adam Wyman and George Whitten were named among the nation's top junior college outfielders. Wyman (Bollingbrook) led the Raiders in 2004 with a .448 batting average, while Whitten (Prospect) batted .423.
Freshman Ryan Holley, a two-time all-conference first baseman at Lincoln-Way East, was named a top junior college newcomer.
"This is the first time we've had four players listed as players to watch in the same season," said new Oakton head coach Bill Fratto. "Our team chemistry is outstanding, and we are going to compete at a high level in every game this year."
Rankings by Collegiate Baseball Newspaper, an authority in amateur baseball for 40 years, are compiled by junior college baseball coaches.
In the 2005 baseball campaign, Oakton finished 34-20, the third year in a row the Raiders won at least 30 games.
