Top Five College Pitching Staffs

1. STANFORD.
Junior Justin Wayne (left) is 20-1 over three seasons—and might not even be the Cardinal's best starter.

2. RICE.
Senior righthander Jeff Nichols is 13 wins shy of breaking the NCAA career mark of 51, and junior righty Kenny Baugh should be a first-round draft pick.

3. CAL STATE-FULLERTON.
Nine juniors, a freshman and a redshirt freshman make up a staff protected by closer Kirk Saarloos, owner of one of the NCAA's deadliest sliders.

4. TULANE.
It would be hard to find a more dependable rotation than Henry Bonilla (11-1, 3.34 last season), Dan O'Gara (8-2, 4.59) and Jared Berkowitz (13-3, 3.78).

5. FLORIDA.
Imports Jimmy Ramshaw ( Australia) and Craig Mosher ( Canada) need sophomore Alex Hart, a high school whiz from Marion, Pa., to reach their level.
