MARTIN HARRIS

- 9

Second Base Business Administration Oakland, Ca.

Sophomore Major: Hometown:

Martin is the Toreros returnign second baseman. As a freshman last year he started at third base before making the switch to second early in the season. He did a fine job of learning his new position under the toughest circum­ stances, game conditions. With a year of experience under his belt, Martin's defensive skills are much improved this season. Offensively, he had a good year in 1979? hitting .294 with 21 RBI's, 42 hits, and 6 triples. He is an excel­ lent contact hitter, striking out only six times in 143

at-bats. He has a strong arm for his position and possesses excellent speed. He should be quite a base stealing threat for USD this season. He has a quick bat and good reactions. Martin played four years of both varsity baseball and basketball at St. Joseph High School in Alameda. In his senior year of baseball he hit .405 and was Most Valuable Player.

TIM GRESTO - 10

Pitcher Undeclared Ventura, Ca.

Freshman Major: Hometown:

Tim is a tall righthander with impressive credentials. He's from Villanova High School in Ojai where he totally dominated in baseball and basketball. He was his team's MVP in both sports for both his junior and senior years. In his senior baseball campaign he was 13 _ 2, with a O .69 ERA, and a .506 batting average, while being named GIF Player of the Year. He was team captain both years. Tim had a fine winter, showing a live fastball and good control. He could see alost of action this season, mainly in relief. The Toreros could really use a big season from one of their young pitchers, and Tim just might provide it.
