The Ivy season begins tomorrow afternoon for Columbia baseball. In anticipation of the 20 league games that will determine if the Lions play for a championship, here are 20 quick predictions for the Light Blue’s upcoming Ivy season.
1. Columbia’s improvement over the course of its first 19 games is a great sign. Even if it looks bad, the team’s 6-13 record does not matter. At all. I promise.
2. Junior leftfielder Dario Pizzano, who was just named Ivy player of the week, will become the Ivy Player of the Year. I’m really not going out on much of a limb with this prediction.
3. Senior RHP Pat Lowery will make a great bid to become this year’s pitcher of the year. He was scary good last Saturday at Holy Cross.
