Top 25 Consideration: 15 More Teams To Watch​

From D1baseball. No mention of UConn. IMO this is probably a reflection of our lack of power this year and somewhat unproven pitching.

On the bright side, with our extremely strong OOC slate and relatively under-the-radar preseason (nationally speaking), we have the opportunity to sneak up on some teams.

I think you're spot on here. Offensively you're most likely plugging in Padilla. Dalena and Kron/TC for Dom, Huber, and Smitty. This is using the jump-off point from Gainesville. You're going to lose production there it's a question of how much and can the remaining shortfall be "mostly" backfilled from other positions. Of course, someone can emerge and/or improve and things will change.

I'm excited for the starting pitching under the caveat that it stays healthy. As you said schedule is tough and the record won't be as gaudy as last year but it might turn out to be a more well-balanced team than in 2023. They are going to be challenged in Feb/early March so have to get out of the gate well.

Looking forward to getting down to Tampa. Interesting opening weekend against 3 good but beatable opponents. 2 out of 3 would be nice. FYI - St. John's is going to play 3 @ Gainesville with Florida opening weekend. Jumping right into the deep end. Haha.

Historically, St. John's has generally been one of the better baseball teams in the Big East. They have won 9 Big East Tournaments, the most in conference history. They won some of these Tournaments when teams like Louisville and Notre Dame were in the Big East. St. John's baseball has taken a fall for the last several years ago. It would really help the conference if St. John's baseball returned to their ability before they took this recent this down turn.

Looking forward to the preseason interviews with Chris Jones and the coaching staff about the players on the team. Always an interesting listen.

In the past they have been made known on X. They will get posted to the Boneyard, so you won't miss them.

2024 Preseason Player Rankings: Top 50 First Basemen • D1Baseball

Wake Forest's Nick Kurtz, Florida's Jac Caglianone and Georgia's Charlie Condon headline our list of college baseball's top 50 first basemen.

Luke Broadhurst is ranked at No. 33 for 1B. Last season I think Broadhurst pretty much played exclusively at the D.H. spot.

It will be interesting to see when and where Luke Broadhurst plays this season. I think UConn has some decent depth on the team this season. Broadhurst got playing time during fall ball at both 1B and 3B.

Has there been any news coming out of camp considering we’re 2 weeks out…? Weekend staff outlook? Setup/closer roles? CF? Etc etc. I haven’t seen anything posted on this platform at least.
