SCOUTING THE BRUINS
UCLA and Long Beach State are playing for the second time this season. The Bruins are 34-13 after dropping two of three against USC over the weekend in Irvine.
To begin the week, the Bruins are ranked 17th in the USA Today Baseball Coaches Top 15, 17th in the NCBWA Top 25, 18th in the D1Baseball.com Top 25, 19th in the Perfect Game Top 25, and 24th in the Baseball America Top 25.
Roch Cholowsky leads the team in hitting (.364), home runs (16), runs (61), slugging (.733), on-base percentage (.509), hits (64), and doubles (15). He was recently named to the Golden Spikes Award Midseason Watch List
CJ Bott is UCLA's probable starter. He is 2-1 with 15 strikeouts in 22 innings this season.
The Bruins defeated the Dirtbags 12-1 on Apr. 8 in Los Angeles. UCLA leads the all-time series 74-48.
13 IN 19
The Dirtbags' series at Arizona State began the home stretch. In the first week, including the UC Davis three-game set, the Dirtbags played 48 innings over five games.
Long Beach State will conclude the 2025 regular season by playing 13 games in 19 days in three states (Arizona, California, and Oregon).
ASHWORTH MOVES TO FOURTH IN CAREER WALKS
With two walks during the UC Davis series, Kyle Ashworth moved to fourth in school history in career walks with 94. Former MLB All-Star Jason Giambi holds the school mark with 116. He leads the team in walks in 2025 with 32 and is fourth in the Big West in the category.
Ashworth is the leading Long Beach State hitter this season. The graduate student is hitting .345 after going 7-for-14 against the Aggies May 2-4.
Ashworth is the club leader in runs scored (38 with Alex Champagne), hits (57), doubles (11), triples (2 with Champagne), total bases (78), and on-base percentage (.473).
He has not committed an error in 96 chances (91 PO-5A). Ashworth is hitting .394 in league-only play, the fourth-best in conference-only games.
