The Illinois baseball season starts a week from Friday in the warm weather of Texas (see University of Illinois baseball schedule here).
FightingIllini.com just did an in-house review of the position players. No doubt a review of the pitchers will be coming soon.
There will be some changes on the field. For those paying attention, it shouldn’t be too much of a surprise but it’s worth noting.
Sophomore Brandon Wikoff, who started 54 games at third base in 2007, will move to his natural shortstop position, and junior Joe Bonadonna looks to challenge for a starting spot on the infield after a monster summer season for the Duluth Huskies of the Northwoods League.
