[BlueK]

BYU baseball starts the 2015 season today against #16 ranked UC Santa Barbara. Kolton Mahoney starts for BYU today. He was drafted by the Brewers in the 23rd round at the end of last season but decided to return for his junior year and improve his draft position. Last year was his first season back from a mission. He throws very hard but needed to work on his control last year. When his control is there he's a dominating type of pitcher. He had a no-hitter in a game last year. I think he eventually plays in the majors. The rest of BYU's rotation should be pretty solid. The offense was young and took a hit last season, but should be improved.

The schedule to start the season is tough: 4 games at #16 UCSB folowed by 4 against #19 Nebraska at a neutral site, and then 4 more at Oklahoma. If they can come out of the first 12 games with a winning record they could turn out to be pretty good this year.
