Neal is back at the helm after a first season that saw the Bearcats win the sixth annual Joe Nuxhall Classic. He returns eight starters and will add a talented 24-player freshman class to the mix for 2015.
Leading the way for the Bearcats will be junior outfielder Ian Happ (Pittsburgh, Pa./Mt. Lebanon) who was named the 2015 American Athletic Conference Preseason Player of the Year and has picked up a pair of preseason All-America nods.
The Bearcats will begin the season in Starkville, Mississippi, on Feb. 13, with a doubleheader against Miami (Ohio) and No. 20 Mississippi State.
