Jeff Weaver This article is about Major League Baseball player Jeffrey Weaver. For other people named Jeff Weaver, see Jeff Weaver (disambiguation). Jeffrey Charles Weaver never made it. His Fresno State team lost to Stanford in the regional final in 1997. Jered Weaver's freshman year at Long Beach also ended in Palo Alto when the 49ers lost 8-4 to Stanford, which went on to the College World Series. ``It's going to be nice to go back there and hopefully win,'' Jered Weaver said. The day before, the Simi Valley High product convinced the all-tournament voters with a complete-game five-hitter against Washington. He raised his record to 14-3 and kept his ERA a point under 2.00. He's in the midst Adv. 1. in the midst - the middle or central part or point; "in the midst of the forest"; "could he walk out in the midst of his piece?" midmost of a dominating string of four winning starts over ranked opponents. He's Long Beach State's best arm, though he remains the No. 2 starter after junior left-hander Abe Alvarez. ``He has a real unconventional motion. I wasn't picking the ball up at all when he over-rotates,'' said Washington DH Chad Boudon, who hit a school-record 22 home runs but struck out three times against Weaver. ``He threw his slider A block of material that holds the read/write head of a magnetic disk. See flying head. for strikes, his fastball for a strike. Any count, it didn't matter. He was (throwing) pretty dirty.'' Though the 49ers lost twice to Stanford in postseason play in 2002, Weaver found himself at Sunken Diamond. With the 49ers facing elimination against rival Cal State Fullerton, he completed a somewhat inconsistent year with seven shutout innings and the victory. ``That was a turning point for me,'' Weaver said. ``It gave me a little confidence. It was nice to not lose it, and to (eliminate) Fullerton.'' It wasn't the first time a Weaver made a groundbreaking start at Stanford. Jered was in the stands at Sunken Diamond on May 22, 1997. Big brother Jeff was on the mound, striking out an NCAA postseason-record 21 against Texas A&M. Long Beach State first baseman Mike Hofius is anticipating more Weaver memories in Palo Alto. ``It is so fun to watch him,'' Hofius said. ``When you're playing defense, you don't really think about it, but when you go home after the game, you've got to sit there and say, `This guy is something special.'
