STANFORD, Calif. - Head Coach Mark Marquess, who is entering his 40th season at the helm of Stanford baseball, met with local and national media at the 2016 Bay Area Baseball Media Day on Tuesday.
Tough Slate - More than half of Stanford's home schedule features 2015 NCAA tournament teams, including 2015 national runner-up Vanderbilt, Cal State Fullerton, and Pac-12 rivals Cal and USC. In all, the Cardinal will play 27 games against teams currently ranked in the Top 25.
Sunken Diamond Renovations - Fans will enjoy several enhancements to the most beautiful college baseball facility in the country. Renovations include a new entrance, upgraded concession stands, Hall of Honor, ticket stand, restrooms and playing surface.
Who's Back - Stanford returns six everyday starters and nearly all of its pitching. Offensively, the Cardinal will have more than 75 percent of its at-bats, runs, hits, home runs, RBI and extra-base hits back for 2016. The pitching staff returns more than 70 percent of its starts, wins, innings pitched and strikeouts as well as Cal Quantrill and John Hochstatter, who each missed the majority of last season.
Tickets - Individual and season tickets as well as mini-plans are now on sale. Season tickets and mini-plans are the only way to guarantee your seats at Fireworks Night on Friday, May 27.
