Two Standouts Put Cincinnati on the Map in 2008

Senior centerfielder Tony Campana and Junior pitcher Dan Osterbrock lead the Bearcat baseball team from the University of Cincinnati that could make it to the College World Series in 2008.  The two CWS hopefuls were just featured on CSTV about the amount of awards that they have racked up.

Campana is considered one of the top outfielders entering the 2008 season.  He was named to the Brooks Wallace award watch list and has received pre-season All-American honors already.  Campana is a consistent hitter and is known for his speed.  He stole 60 bases in the 2007 season, and reminds me a little of a young Barry Bonds.

Osterbrock is still a Junior but has made a big impact for the Bearcats.  He received first team All-Big East honors and is considered one of the best pitchers on the whole east coast.

To have both of these men make it through their college careers is amazing to me.  In the world of college baseball anymore, if you are good enough to go play pro ball, then you go at any age.  Kudos two these two gentlemen for making college baseball that much more exciting and fun by staying during their Junior and Senior years.
