2018 Minnesota State Baseball Prospectus Head Coach Matt Magers: In his nine years at the helm of the program, Magers has led the Mavericks to a 388-115 mark for a .771 winning percentage. Minnesota State has won five Northern Sun Intercollegiate Championships, qualified for the NCAA tournament every year and won four NCAA regional tournaments in advancing to the national tournament where the Mavericks have placed second (2013), third twice (2014 and 2012) and seventh (2010). Magers, the 2017 NSIC Coach of the Year, guided Minnesota State to a 46-11 (.807) record, its 10th NSIC regular season title, its fifth NSIC Tournament title and its 36th NCAA Tournament appearance, last season.
Ricky Digrugilliers (Sr., RHP, 6-3, Queens, N.Y.) pitched to a 7-0 record with a 1.75 ERA, 25 strikeouts and two walks allowed in 51 1/3 innings pitched — working primarily out of the bullpen with a few spot starts in 2017. Digrugilliers was named the NSIC Newcomer of the Year in 2017.
Top Returners: MSU returns 20 student-athletes, who have previously been letterwinners at Minnesota State, while losing 12 leterwinners from last season's team. Dalton Roach (SR., RHP, 6-2, Eau Claire, Wis.) returns as the ace of the Mavericks' pitching staff after compiling one of the best seasons in program history. In 2017, Roach pitched to a 10-1 record with a 1.56 ERA and a single-season program-best 128 strikeouts over 86 2/3 innings. For his performance on the diamond, Roach was named the Tomko Award recipient, a ABCA/Rawlings First Team Al-American, a CCA First Team All-American, a NCBWA Second Team All-American, All-NSIC First Team and a All-NSIC Tournament Team selection. For his work in the classroom, Roach was also named to the NSIC Spring All-Academic Team. Roach enters the season second in program history for career strikeouts with 285 — only trailing Jason Hoppe's (2011-14) 295.
Dylan Dresel (R-Sr. INF, 6-0, Chisago City, Minn.) started all 57 games for the Mavericks in 2017 — batting .328 with a .593 slugging percentage, 67 hits, 11 doubles, 13 home runs, 57 RBI and 51 runs scored. He also recorded a .997 fielding percentage. Dresel earned NSIC Player of the Week and All-NSIC First Tean honors.
Aaron Rozek (R-SR., LHP, 6-2, Burnsville, Minn.), who has worked as starter and a reliever in his time at Minnesota State, pitched to a 4-0 record with a 1.53 ERA, 38 strikeouts and six walks over 29 1/3 innings — working primarily out of the bullpen. Rozek was named to the NCBWA All-Region Second Team and the AllNSIC First Team in 2017.
Jordan Hart (JR., OF, 6-1, Lyle, Minn.), is coming off of a season where he posted career highs in batting average (.356), on-base percentage (.427), slugging percentage (.620), hits (73), doubles (12), home runs (12), RBI (49) and walks (23). In addition, Hart earned NSIC Player of the Week honors.
Returning Player Position Breakdown: The 2018 Minnesota State baseball roster features 20 previous letterwinners. The Mavericks return eight pitchers from last year's staff that compiled a 46-11 record, 2.78 ERA, a .225 batting average against, 473 strikeouts, and 135 walks in 463 1/3 innings pitched. The Maverick pitching staff led NCAA DII in WHIP (1.12) and hits allowed per nine innings (7.48), while ranking second in strikeout-to-walk ratio (3.50:1), third in ERA (2.78), tied for third in shutouts (9), sixth in walks allowed per nine innings (2.62) and 12th in strikeouts per nine innings (9.2) in 2017. In the field, the Mavericks return 12 position players (six infielders, two catchers, three outfielders and one utility player). As a team, the Mavericks batted .299 with a .381 on-base percentage, .474 slugging percentage, 526 hits, 93 doubles, 13 triples, 63 home runs and 158 walks in 2017. In the field, the Mavericks compiled a .976 fielding percentage.

2018 Minnesota State Baseball Prospectus Head Coach Matt Magers: In his nine years at the helm of the program, Magers has led the Mavericks to a 388-115 mark for a .771 winning percentage. Minnesota State has won five Northern Sun Intercollegiate Championships, qualified for the NCAA tournament every year and won four NCAA regional tournaments in advancing to the national tournament where the Mavericks have placed second (2013), third twice (2014 and 2012) and seventh (2010). Magers, the 2017 NSIC Coach of the Year, guided Minnesota State to a 46-11 (.807) record, its 10th NSIC regular season title, its fifth NSIC Tournament title and its 36th NCAA Tournament appearance, last season.
Ricky Digrugilliers (Sr., RHP, 6-3, Queens, N.Y.) pitched to a 7-0 record with a 1.75 ERA, 25 strikeouts and two walks allowed in 51 1/3 innings pitched — working primarily out of the bullpen with a few spot starts in 2017. Digrugilliers was named the NSIC Newcomer of the Year in 2017.
Top Returners: MSU returns 20 student-athletes, who have previously been letterwinners at Minnesota State, while losing 12 leterwinners from last season's team. Dalton Roach (SR., RHP, 6-2, Eau Claire, Wis.) returns as the ace of the Mavericks' pitching staff after compiling one of the best seasons in program history. In 2017, Roach pitched to a 10-1 record with a 1.56 ERA and a single-season program-best 128 strikeouts over 86 2/3 innings. For his performance on the diamond, Roach was named the Tomko Award recipient, a ABCA/Rawlings First Team Al-American, a CCA First Team All-American, a NCBWA Second Team All-American, All-NSIC First Team and a All-NSIC Tournament Team selection. For his work in the classroom, Roach was also named to the NSIC Spring All-Academic Team. Roach enters the season second in program history for career strikeouts with 285 — only trailing Jason Hoppe's (2011-14) 295.
Dylan Dresel (R-Sr. INF, 6-0, Chisago City, Minn.) started all 57 games for the Mavericks in 2017 — batting .328 with a .593 slugging percentage, 67 hits, 11 doubles, 13 home runs, 57 RBI and 51 runs scored. He also recorded a .997 fielding percentage. Dresel earned NSIC Player of the Week and All-NSIC First Tean honors.
Aaron Rozek (R-SR., LHP, 6-2, Burnsville, Minn.), who has worked as starter and a reliever in his time at Minnesota State, pitched to a 4-0 record with a 1.53 ERA, 38 strikeouts and six walks over 29 1/3 innings — working primarily out of the bullpen. Rozek was named to the NCBWA All-Region Second Team and the AllNSIC First Team in 2017.
Jordan Hart (JR., OF, 6-1, Lyle, Minn.), is coming off of a season where he posted career highs in batting average (.356), on-base percentage (.427), slugging percentage (.620), hits (73), doubles (12), home runs (12), RBI (49) and walks (23). In addition, Hart earned NSIC Player of the Week honors.
Returning Player Position Breakdown: The 2018 Minnesota State baseball roster features 20 previous letterwinners. The Mavericks return eight pitchers from last year's staff that compiled a 46-11 record, 2.78 ERA, a .225 batting average against, 473 strikeouts, and 135 walks in 463 1/3 innings pitched. The Maverick pitching staff led NCAA DII in WHIP (1.12) and hits allowed per nine innings (7.48), while ranking second in strikeout-to-walk ratio (3.50:1), third in ERA (2.78), tied for third in shutouts (9), sixth in walks allowed per nine innings (2.62) and 12th in strikeouts per nine innings (9.2) in 2017. In the field, the Mavericks return 12 position players (six infielders, two catchers, three outfielders and one utility player). As a team, the Mavericks batted .299 with a .381 on-base percentage, .474 slugging percentage, 526 hits, 93 doubles, 13 triples, 63 home runs and 158 walks in 2017. In the field, the Mavericks compiled a .976 fielding percentage.
