SALT LAKE CITY - The Utah baseball team opens practice for the 2016 season on Friday, Jan. 29, with a trip to St. George, Utah.
The Utes have been doing individual work since fall practice ended in October. Traveling to St. George allows the team the opportunity practice outside.
"It will be good to get outside and scrimmage," Utah head coach Bill Kinneberg said. "We plan to scrimmage three times. It will be the first time that we've been back together as a team since October. As a group, we're looking forward to it. We are anxious to see how we're doing."
The Utes return last year's primary starter at every field position. Utah has several three-year starters: Kody Davis and Cody Scaggari in the infield, Wyler Smith in the outfield and AJ Young at catcher. On the mound, the Utes return nearly 77 percent of last year's innings pitched, led by three-year starter Dalton Carroll and 2015 Pac-12 honorable mention selection Jayson Rose. Several newcomers have also stepped up and challenged for starting roles. Key newcomers include transfers Ellis Kelly (INF) and Josh Lapiana (LHP) as well as freshmen Riley Ottesen (RHP), Zack Moeller (C) and DaShawn Keirsey Jr. (OF).
