FOR STARTERS (PROBABLE)
FRIDAY: Sophomore righty Logan Reddemann, the reigning WCC Freshman of the Year and a 2024 NCBWA Freshman Second Team All-American and 2024 All-WCC First Team selection, is set to take the mound for USD in the series opener at SMC on Friday afternoon.

• Reddemann (1-1, 1.83 ERA) last pitched on April 4 at No. 14 UCLA, when he held the Bruins to just one earned run on six hits across three innings out of the bullpen while striking out three and walking none. He entered for Austin Smith in the second inning that day in what marked his first relief appearance since March 28, 2024.

• His 1.83 ERA leads the WCC in 2025 and ranks 10th nationally. His 0.93 WHIP ranks 20th nationally and his 5.43 strikeout-to-walk ratio is the 34th-best mark in the country.

• Friday will mark the first time in 2025 that Reddemann has started a series opener for San Diego. He last took the mound to begin a series on March 15, 2024, when he did so at Michigan.

• Reddemann was named the WCC Pitcher of the Week for March 10, 2025 after throwing six shutout innings at No. 8 Oregon State on March 8. He scattered six hits in his outing against the Beavers, walked none, and struck out seven as he stranded six runners to keep the home team off the board.

• He threw five solid innings in his 2025 debut against No. 23 TCU at Fowler Park (February 15), striking out eight while giving up three earned runs on just three hits.

• This offseason, Reddemann was also named the 2025 Perfect Game Preseason WCC Player of the Year, to the 2025 Perfect Game Preseason All-WCC Team, and to the 2025 WCC Baseball Preseason Team.

• He made 13 starts for USD in his dominant debut season in 2024, accumulating a 7-4 record with a 4.01 ERA and a 1.31 HIP in 15 total appearances.

• Reddemann was also one of two Toreros in 2024 to go eight total innings without allowing a run (May 4 vs Santa Clara)

• He became one of two USD players to strike out 10 hitters in a single outing in 2024 when he threw seven shutout frames on March 28 at Pacific while allowing just two hits and one walk.

• Reddemann pitched three innings in game two of San Diego's series versus Arizona at Fowler Park last year, allowing three runs (two earned) on five hits while walking just one and striking out six. USD went on to win that game by a score of 6-4.

• Hailing from Palmdale, California, Reddemann attended Quartz Hill High School in Lancaster, California, where he batted .420 across his prep career and compiled a 1.62 ERA. He earned First Team All-CIF Southern Selection honors in 2022 and 2023 and threw a perfect game during his senior season that included 11 strikeouts while going 3-for-4 at the plate with two doubles.

• Reddemann is a switch-hitting two-way player who can play middle infield and outfield and is an option as a pinch runner in addition to pitching. He has totaled 25 at-bats across 18 games in 2025, and has recorded a double, a single, two walks, two hit by pitches, and a stolen base.

• Despite his youth, Reddemann brings big-game experience to the Torero rotation, having started in two postseason games in 2024: one against Portland in the WCC Tournament Championship , and one against the Gauchos in a 2024 NCAA Santa Barbara Regional elimination game.

SATURDAY: Redshirt freshman RHP Cal Scolari (1-2, 4.32 ERA) is scheduled to start for San Diego in game two on Saturday.

• Scolari last pitched on Saturday, April 5 in game two No. 14 UCLA, throwing four innings while allowing three runs (two earned) on three hits, walking three, and striking out six.

• He started each of San Diego's first four Friday contests in 2025 before pitching in the Toreros' next two Sunday afternoon matchups. Last week marked his first Saturday start this season.

• He shined in his collegiate debut in USD's season opener vs No. 23 TCU on February 14, striking out nine through five one-hit shutout innings.

• Scolari was inactive for the entirety of his true freshman year at USD and his final year of high school while recovering from an arm injury.  He attended Bishop Manogue Catholic High School in Reno, Nevada, where he last pitched as a junior, posting a 2.50 ERA across 50.1 innings on the mound.

• As a high school sophomore, he earned Second Team All-Region honors, followed by First Team All-Region honors as a junior

• Scolari was ranked the No. 7 player in Nevada and was one of Collegiate Baseball Newspapers'  Top High-School Players list  in 2023.

LAST TIME OUT: A WALK-OFF WIN OVER CROSSTOWN RIVAL UC SAN DIEGO
• A fourth-inning grand slam from Rex Watson was the turning point for San Diego on Tuesday night as it overcame a six-run deficit to earn a 9-8 walk-off win over crosstown rival UC San Diego.

• USD scored six times in the seventh inning to tie the game at 8-8, which set the scene for freshman AJ Beltre to win the game for San Diego in the bottom of the ninth with a clutch RBI single to center field.

OVER THE WEEKEND: TOREROS KNOCK OFF TOP-15 BRUINS IN SUNDAY FINALE
• San Diego dropped two of three at No. 14 UCLA last weekend from April 4-6.

• USD fell by scores of 16-2 (seven innings) and 7-6 in games one and two before outlasting the Bruins to earn a 4-3 victory in 14 innings on Sunday.

• Smith drove in three of the Toreros' four runs in the weekend finale, starting the scoring in the top of the first with a two-run shot before giving USD the lead in the top of the 14th with a go-ahead solo homer. AJ Beltre worked a full count before drawing a bases-loaded walk to tie the score at 3-3 in the top of the eighth.

• The victory marked San Diego's first win over a ranked opponent since March 9, 2024, when it prevailed 9-8 at No. 14 Dallas Baptist.

HAYDEN CODY AND AUSTIN SMITH EARN WCC WEEKLY HONORS
• Battling two top-15 nationally ranked teams last week, and earning a win over No. 14 UCLA allowed San Diego to pick up two WCC Baseball weekly awards for April 7, 2025, the West Coast Conference announced on Monday afternoon. Austin Smith was named the Heluva Good Dip West Coast Conference Co-Player of the Week with Gonzaga's Mikey Bell, while Hayden Cody of the Toreros claimed Heluva Good Dip West Coast Conference Pitcher of the Week honors.

• Smith earned a hit in all four of San Diego's games last week, going 8-for-18 (.444) with three home runs, four RBI, three runs scored and two walks across a game at No. 12 UC Irvine and three games at No. 14 UCLA. He got on base at a .500 clip and slugged .944, extending his hit streak to 22 games. Smith recorded two hits last Tuesday against the Anteaters, later adding another two, including a solo homer, on Saturday. On Sunday, in the series finale against the Bruins, he did it all during San Diego's 4-3 victory in extra innings, giving the Toreros an early lead with a two-run homer before delivering the game's decisive blow in the top of the fourteenth with a clutch go-ahead solo shot. This is Smith's first career weekly WCC accolade.

• Cody was clutch out of the bullpen for San Diego last Sunday, turning in three hitless and scoreless frames at No. 14 UCLA, giving the Toreros the opportunity to obtain a 4-3 victory in 14 innings. Cody struck out five and walked only one after entering in the bottom of the fourth. This is Cody's first career WCC recognition.

• Smith and Cody are the third and fourth Toreros to earn weekly WCC awards this season after Rex Watson was named the WCC Freshman of the Week on March 17 and Logan Reddemann was named the WCC Pitcher of the Week on March 10. Smith is USD's first player of the week since Jakob Christian earned last season's final WCC Player of the Week nod on May 13, 2024.

TRIPLE THREAT

• Lane (two) is the only USD player (and just one of six players in the WCC) with more than one.

• San Diego's eight total triples through 32 games this season are the second-most in the WCC (LMU, 12), and are just one shy of the final tally of nine triples the Torero achieved across 56 games in 2024.

LIFE IN THE FAST LANE
• Isaiah Lane, who is hitting .314 (32-for-102) overall so far this season with five home runs and 15 RBIs, has recorded 10 multi-hit games in 2025 and has hit safely in 22 of his first 28 games as a Torero.

OUCH!

• In total, San Diego has been hit by 60 pitches this season.
