College Baseball Projected Field Of 64 (5/2/18)

Baseball America projects UConn as the #2 in the Conway, South Carolina. Coastal Carolina is host as the #14 overall seed. Other teams are Missouri #3 and UNC Greensboro #4

ECU, UCF, USF and Houston also in.

D1baseball.com still has UConn hosting in Norwich as the #11 overall seed.

Also in Norwich are Vanderbilt (#2), Northeastern (#3) and St. John's (#4).

ECU hosting as #16 overall seed. USF, Houston and UCF also in the field. Hartford, Yale and Quinnipiac also projected to make the field at this point.

The SEC leads the way in overall bids with 11, while the rest of the conferences break down like this: ACC (6), Big Ten (6), American (5), Big 12 (5), Pac 12 (3), Conference USA (2), Atlantic Sun (2) and Missouri Valley (2).

I could be wrong, but there seems to be more variation in projecting NCAA baseball seeds than in any other NCAA sport. I guess that is due partly to the nature of baseball, where very good teams are expected to lose some games, where very good teams are very happy to take 2 of 3 from a weekend conference series.

In today's analysis of their projected NCAA field, D1Baseball.com has UConn solid for being a regional host. They are not even rated as On the Bubble (In), but currentlyas a solid host seed. The On the Bubble (In) schools are Oklahoma State, UCLA, Kentucky, Georgia, and East Carolina.

Postseason Stock Report: Week 11 | D1Baseball.com

Obviously, Baseball America, which is probably the most respected baseball print publication out there, disagrees with this projection. I find it interesting that there is such a discrepancy, but that sort of thing also shows up in the national polls, where some teams get rated in one poll, while not in another. Such is life college baseball, I suppose.
 
Relatively new to following UConn baseball over the past few years, seen a few people mention a team hosting as a #2 seed. What scenario does that happen for a team?
 
After our RPI takes a hit after we play (and hopefully sweep) Memphis, we will see if they still have us hosting.

The Memphis series is on the road, so that should somewhat mitigate the possible hit in the RPI. At least Memphis is currently on the right side of 200 in the RPI.

Hell we gained a spot last night and we weren’t even playing ;) (Helped that Tulane knocked off #11/#13 Southern Miss on the road)

No one can answer that for you. There is no written criteria. The selection committee will pick the 16 #1 seeds and the 16 sites. Normally the #1 seeds are also the home teams, but a few years ago we played in Norwich as a #2 seed because the committee wanted the playoffs to have a location in the Northeast, which is rare.

I thought it was that we were expected to be a #1 seed and we already had the bid locked up but fell into a second seed at the last second.
 
Watching a baseball game was like getting checked for gonorrhea. But, now that UCONN is having a good season, it still sucks, but I enjoy cheering for UCONN. Go Huskies!

Any word on when Cate will be back??

Chris Jones was very noncommittal during today's game on when Tim Cate might be back. UConn has done very well without him, but they could really use him, especially since the post season is now not too far off.

I think they are being vary careful with Tim Cate, they should as he will be in the MLB if he can stay healthy. I am amazed that they have been able to win as many conference series without him.

If the NCAA seeds baseball like they do basketball, UConn doing what it has without Cate, and probably getting him back for the postseason should improve our stock. This team is even better than it seems, and it seems pretty damned good. Need to play well vs. Houston, and finish no worse than 2nd in the AAC tournament.

I would try not be overly optimistic about anyone's MLB chances. It's a hard road through the minors to get a sniff at the major leagues. Not trying to be critical but Cate has some attributes that work against him in that endeavor (height, stamina concerns, only one plus pitch, etc.). Regardless he should be drafted in June, however I am not certain as high as everyone is currently envisioning.
 
Would have loved a sweep of Memphis, but I would be satisfied if we continue to take 2 of 3 vs Houston and ECU. Have 2 road New England games prior to Houston this weekend. Northeastern is going to be a tough one, but we can't lay an egg vs SH.

Still "all Green" below.
