The College Baseball Blog named junior pitcher T.J. Walz as one of the top 100 players to watch for in the upcoming season. The Web site listed Walz at number 51.

After going 4-1 in limited action as a freshman, Walz took on a larger role for Kansas last season. Walz, a right-handed pitcher from Omaha, Neb., went 8-3 in 14 starts with a 4.70 ERA, while racking up a team high 88 strikeouts. He was named to the All-Big 12 Second Team, and also received Big 12 Pitcher of the Week honors in April.

Over the summer, Walz pitched for the U.S. Collegiate National team and impressed with a 2-0 record with 22 strikeouts and a 2.89 ERA in 18 2/3 innings.
