After graduation
Krause mulls
building year
Mel Krause has arm trouble.
After leading the 1972 baseball Ducks to the Pacific-8 northern
division championship game, Head Coach Krause now faces the
unenviable task of rebuilding a title contender in 1973 with an inex
perienced pitching staff.
From the ‘72 squad he has lost three of four starting pitchers. Two
via graduation and one to the San Francisco Giants.
Steven Greenough signed with the Giants and will be sorely missed.
Krause had been depending on him and Mike Shoup to bolster the ‘73
staff.
Now only Shoup remains. Although Shoup will be an easy standout
and workhorse he’ll be backed up by no one with any sizable ex
perience. In two years of Pac-8 ball, Shoup has yet to lose a conference
game. Last season he won six without suffering a defeat during the
entire season. He led the squad with six complete games.
Greenough topped the Duck mound with a 1.62 eamed-run-average
and threw two shutouts. He struck out 59 batters in 50 innings of work.
“The loss of Greenough is really hurting us now. Little-experienced
sophomores will be fighting for starting jobs this year,” Krause said.
Off the mound, though, Krause is pleased, “We have a good nucleus
of a ball club,” and he starts reciting the names of his big guns coming
back—despite the monstrous loss of Dave Roberts, who now is
carrying his weight with the San Diego Padres. “You always lose
someone and it always hurts,” Krause said, trying to brush off the
loss, something not easily done with Roberts.
The 6-2 junior led the squad in nearly every hitting category, set
many season records and even established some career baseball
records at Oregon despite passing up his senior year in favor of a x
professional contract. He ripped opposing pitching at a .410 clip,
swatted 12 homeruns, drove in 47 runs, and totaled 107 bases on 59 hits
in 37 games.
His loss was expected, though, long before he was picked first in the
annual professional baseball draft in June.
But despite the slugger’s absence Oregon will field a powerful of
fensive attack. Krause’s son Guy offers the long ball. He clubbed
seven homers last season after leading the Pac-8 in home runs his
freshman year a season earlier.
Catcher Artie Salveson returns with a .323 batting average in his
first year. Another freshman starter, second baseman Bob Anderson
hit a respectable .250 with more at-bats than anyone except Roberts.
His quick hands at second base figured in 13 double plays.
Power hitter Bob Neal will also return. He alternated between first
base and catcher. He batted .287 in 35 games. Dean Roberts played the
final two-thirds of the season in center field and finished with a .293
batting average in 22 games.

The outfield will be strong. Roberts and Krause will b<: joined by
Mike Long (.261); Don Reynolds (.226); or one of a multitude of junior
varsity grads headed by Steve Donnelly, Ken Warren and Fred Kay.
The infield is very unsettled at the present. The big shoes to fill are
Dave Roberts’ who held third base down before switching to shortstop
midway through the season. Greg Brosterhouse took Roberts’ place at
third, graduated and leaves a giant gap on the left side of the field, but
Coach Krause has been experimenting with Anderson at third and
recruited with this weakness in mind.
Anderson has a lock on second base if he doesn’t move to third.
At first is Neal, Guy Krause, or fast-improving Pat McNally, who
doubles as a football split end.
On the shaky mound Shoup will be flanked by Steve Townsend, who
saw 16 2-3 innings of relief action in 11 games. The left-hander com
piled a 2-2 record and two saves. The rest of the staff will be mostly
sophomores. Randy Lanning. Steve Miller and Greg Richards all saw
limited duty as freshmen and will be in the thick of the fight for
starting jobs come spnng. Lanning did face 31 innings of work in nine
games, but his e r a. was 4.06.
The key to Oregon's baseball hopes will obviously rest with the
pitchers Big bats are coming back and they will score lots of runs—
very comforting to any pitching staff. But they’ll still have to score
more than what the hurlers surrender to get another shot at
Washington State and the northern division championship.
