After completing a historic run that concluded with a NCAA Championship over a very strong Texas A&M team, Tony Vitello looks to defend the title starting with the SEC's best.

​

Key players returning this year include INF Dean Curley, pitchers Nate Sneed, Andrew Behnke, and a healthy AJ Russell and C Cannon Peebles. Those returning players will be joined by Ole Miss transfers 3B Andrew Fischer and Liam Doyle: Louisville transfer INF Gavin Kilen; Kennesaw State pitcher Tanner Franklin and hopefully the powerful bat of North Carolina transfer Alberto Osuna.

​

Incoming freshman UTIL Jay Abernathy leads a new class of players. The youngster garnered preseason top college freshman honors.

​

Season begins against Hofstra. The College World Series rematch against Texas A&M will be during the first weekend in April. SEC teams like LSU, Vanderbilt, and Florida will challenge for the top spot in the conference.

​

Good luck to the baseball program this season as they make a run to repeat as national champions.
