Ginther will be enrolling in fall and competing in the spring of 2015 as a member of the schools first ever baseball team as William Jessup will enter competition at the NAIA level next year.

The Pirates pitching staff which was filled with sophomore arms saw this group transfer on in force to the 4 year level with the addition of Watson to the group the Pirates in all transferred 5 pitchers on to the 4 year level. Redshirt Sophomore RHP Sean Domke who was a stabilizing force in the Pirates rotation all year with Watson signed to play for Western Oregon University an established NCAA D2 power where the coaching staff is anticipating Domke to be an immediate contributor replacing the loss of 2 arms to the MLB draft. Sophomore Nathan Coakley a Right Handed reliever for the Pirates for the last two seasons is headed to NAIA power University of St. Francis where the staff expects Coakley to compete for a starting role in the rotation for the 2015 campaign. Sophomore Grayson Weber a Right Handed reliever who additionally served as the Pirates 3rd starter during his freshmen campaign accepted a scholarship to Fisher College in Massachusetts where he slated to compete for a spot in the rotation next season at the emerging NAIA school. Finally, Redshirt Sophomore Steven Martinez a RHP who served as the Pirates closer in the 2014 accepted a scholarship package to play at CSU-East Bay the NCAA D2 member of the CCAAA.
