First Baseman Rick Baker receives toss from fellow infielders for a sure out.
zalez are both Brietbard All-Stars. Drafted by the New
York Yankees last year, David will switch from short–
stop position to second this year. John will work at
third base.
Backing up the infielders will be Shasta College's
AII-Leager Bob Kivley, a three-letterman in high
school, at home at just about all the positions on the
diamond and is used as the utility man in the infield.
Clairemont High's Dwayne Lawson, a Brietbard All–
Star also, Dwayne will work out as back up catcher.
The outfield consists of Ted Pecot, Dave Agosto.
Rene Chevalier, and Chuck Rutledge. Dave will be the
starting centerfielder and comes to USO from San
Diego City College where he hit at a .390 clip last
season.
Rene Chevalier, a football and baseball letterman
at Grossmont JC last year, is proving a great addition
to the Torero squad.
Ted Pecot comes to USO from Los Angeles, where
he was All-League in basketball and baseball at Lincoln
High.
Coaching the pitchers this year for the University
of San Diego is Chuck Leaf, a former standout athlete
at California Western University. He was assistant
baseball coach at Cal Western, and for the past three
years has been an English teacher, baseball coach and
an assistant in football at Escondido High School.
Rone Bennett, a graduate of the University of San
Diego in '65, is serving as a graduate assistant coach in
baseball. Bennett played second base two years for the
Toreros. He is pursuing graduate studies at USO which
will lead to a Master's Degree in Education in June of
this year.
The schedule is just beginning as this volume goes
to the press, but if the lineup of all-stars is any signal
of ability and versatility, the Torero team will prove to
be one of the finest in the history of an San Diego
college or University.
