0SU baseball
recruiting class
ranked 15th
DURHAM, N.C.
-- Oklahoma State's 2010
baseball recruiting class has
been ranked as the 15th-
best class in the country by
Baseball America, it was
announced recently.
OSU's No. 15 ranking
is the highest of any team
in the Big 12 Conference.
Stanford tops the list, while
LSU was ranked No. 2
The Cowboys' incoming
class includes 13 players
and counts over 20 when
the crop of walk-ons is
included.
Among the signing
class, nine players are from
the junior college ranks
and three are from the high
school level while another
is a Division I transfer who
is immediately eligible to
compete.
Continuing the break-
down, the class includes
eight pitchers, live infield-
ers and three outfielders.
Five of the signees were
selected in the 2010 Major
League Baseball Draft.
Baseball America
cites the "exciting core of
power arms" as the key to
OSU's class. That group
of pitchers is highlighted
by freshman Jason Hursh,
a right-hander who was a
sixth-round draft pick of
the Pittsburgh Pirates in
June.
The class of pitch-
ers also includes junior
college transfers Chris
Marlowe, Hunter Herrera,
Blake Barnes and Vance
Woodruff and freshman
Vince Wheeland.
The Cowboys also
expect to add punch to the
lineup with the signing of
JUCO stars Jared Womack
and Zach Johnson, along
with Andrew Heck, who
transferred to OSU after
Duquesne dropped its pro-
gram. Heck will be counted
on to contribute as a two-
way threat as an outfielder
and pitcher.
