NEW OUTFIELD
The Mavericks will open the season with three new faces in the outfield. A combination of Bligh Madris, Ben Chamberlin, John Ballard, PJ Gonzales, Alex Fife and Mitch Robinson figure to battle it out in the non-conference schedule for the starting jobs.

FRESH FACES
The Mavericks could start as many as three true freshman in the field this season. Bligh Madris could get the starting nod in right field while Nick Cardinale should secure a spot in the rotation. Zach McLeod could eventually see time at either shortstop or third base.

ON THE MOUND
The Mavericks will have some veteran leaders on the mound this season. Matt Delay went 9-0 last season as the staff ace and Matt Allen went 7-2 with an under three ERA out of the bullpen. Lefty Ryan Reno and Dakota Behr could see time in the rotation to start the season. Tyler Ehlers, David Johnson, and Trent Allianic could all see time in the rotation as well.

NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP
Colorado Mesa played for the NCAA National Championship last year coming up just short to Southern Indiana 3-2 in 12 innings. It was the first time in program history the Mavericks have reached the National Championship game.

ON DECK
The Mavericks will continue their six-game road trip with a four-game set against Dixie State in St. George, Utah.
