As has been the case in almost a quarter century at the helm of the Enterprise State Community College Boll Weevils, Tim Hulsey is looking for the ESCC pitching staff to again set the table for the baseball team’s success.
The 2010 Weevils return some experienced sophomores to the mound. Included are Zach Jadofsky, of Chipley, Fla., and Enterprise’s Shane Adkinson, a right-hander, the only pure pitchers in the sophomore class.
Other Weevil sophomores will split time between the mound and other positions. These multi-position, second-year performers include: Michael Harrington of Panama City, who also plays second base; and Jerome Jones Jr., of Tallahassee, Fla., who normally starts at shortstop.
Freshmen contending for mound time include: southpaw Courtney Jefferson, of Phenix City; lefty Brad Griffis of MacClenny, Fla.; and Justin Chambers, right-hander, Chipley.
Freshmen pitchers who’ll serve dual duty are: middle infielder Brett West, of Enterprise; Channing Ellis, outfield, of Tallassee; Aaron Dampier, first base/third base, Gainesville, Fla.; and Will Dismukes, of Millbrook.
Sophomore position players set for this week’s opening day are: infielders Zach Kles, Jefferson, Ga., third base; Xavier Randolph, Griffin, Ga., first base; Ryan Johnson, Enterprise, first/third base; and Trey Boothe, Citronelle, who also plays the infield corner positions.
Freshmen infielders are: Brett Bowers, Phenix City, who may also play outfield; Jeffery Smith, Leeds, third base; Jake Jadofsky, Chipley, first base; Laramie Dryden, Marianna, Fla., second base; and Curtis Pryor, Ozark, third base/first base.
Sophomore J. Ryan Rennspies, Cantonment, Fla., provides experience at catcher while freshmen behind the plate this season are: Cody Weems of Opelika; Jake Wright, Freeport, Fla.; Alex Garcia, Enterprise; and Birmingham’s Brian Steigleder, who also plays first base.
Veteran outfielders are: Seth Currie, Pensacola; James Thomason, Holt, Fla.; and Matt Gomilla, Panama City.
Freshman Joey Jones, of Jack, is also seeking outfield playing time.
The Weevils open the season Friday at home entertaining Jeff State at noon. The teams also play Saturday at noon.
