Marty Costes, OF, University of Maryland, College Park
Junior/Baltimore/ Archbishop Curley/ Bats/Throws: R/R
Costes is coming off a stellar sophomore campaign that resulted in an All-Big Ten First Team selection. He started all 61 games and batted .322 while tying for the team lead in home runs (13). A standout at Archbishop Curley, Costes returns to the Terps after being selected in the 25th round of the MLB Player Draft by the Houston Astros. Costes has been named the preseason Big Ten Player of the Year by D1Baseball.com.
Maryland (38-23 overall, 15-9 conference) fell short of a Big Ten title in 2017 but managed to receive an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament. The Terps handled University of Maryland, Baltimore County with ease after falling to West Virginia University in the opening round of the Winston Salem Regional. A second loss to the Mountaineers ended Maryland’s national title hopes prematurely. Maryland is expected to once again contend for a Big Ten championship under first-year head coach Rob Vaughn, but the season has started slowly. The Terps are 4-4, including losing two of three to Army at home.
