Tigers only one week away from 2019 season opener
COLUMBIA, Mo. – Ready for his third season at the helm of Mizzou Baseball, head coach Steve Bieser and the Tigers open their 2019 campaign in exactly one week. Mizzou will visit North Florida for a season-opening three-game series (Feb. 15-17), followed by five additional games in The Sunshine State (Feb. 19-24).
With the final week of preparation underway, catch up on the latest rumblings on all things Tigers Baseball.
- Due to cold weather conditions in Mid-Missouri, the team has regularly practiced indoors at the Devine Pavilion.
- Mizzou opened Friday's practice with a slew of stations for fielders, hitters and pitchers. This included abbreviated live batting practice, situational fielding drills and pitcher's fielding practice.
- Following the extended warm-up, the squad dispersed into Black & Gold teams for a live scrimmage. On the bump, sophomore RHP Trey Dillard got the nod for Team Black, while senior LHP Tyler LaPlante got the ball for Team Gold.

- Sophomore transfer Thomas Broyles laced a base hit off the hard-throwing Dillard to highlight Team Gold's first turn through the lineup.
- Sophomore RHP Ian Bedell was first in relief for Team Black, inducing a pair of ground balls and a strikeout in his first inning of work.
- In Bedell's second frame, Morris roped a leadoff double to the right-center gap.
