Prospects
David Seifert – March 27, 2023

There’s a new No. 1. And there’s a new member of the Hundy Club. LSU teammates Paul Skenes and Chase Shores brought some big boy velo to the Tigers’ series against Arkansas this past weekend. Skenes touched 102 with his fourth pitch of the game, while sitting 100-101 throughout the first inning. Shores relieved Skenes in the eighth and brought 100 octane fuel.

Additionally, five others joined the #HeatSheet during Week Six. In that same SEC series, Razorback freshman Gage Wood touched a 96, while up in Happy Valley, Penn State junior righthander Travis Luensmann hurled several 96s to the[…]

But more like the pitching is getting thin and the offenses are dictating the winners of the weekend. Either way, Washington head coach Jason Kelly accepts the way Sundays go in our sport, especially when his Huskies can take to an 11-10 series clinching win on the road against the 7th-ranked team in the country.

“That’s the way Sunday is,” Kelly said afterward. “You can throw[…]

The latest D1Baseball Top 25 Rankings are out, and while there are some significant changes at the bottom of the rankings, it is very chalky at the top with LSU No. 1 for yet another week, while Wake Forest, Florida and Vanderbilt remain the next three teams in order. Virginia, which swept Florida State at home over the weekend, rounds out the top five after moving up from No. 8.

South Carolina and Tennessee round out the Top 10, while another SEC foe, Kentucky, entered the Top 20, moving from No. 23 to No. 18 after taking a series from Alabama on the road. Texas Tech and Miami were each swept this past weekend by Texas and Wake Forest, respectively, but the two remain in the rankings at No. 22 and No. 23, respectively.

Four new teams entered the rankings with Ole Miss, Texas A&M, Missouri and Grand Canyon exiting the rankings. The Rebels had the largest drop, moving from No. 13 to out of the rankings after beginning SEC play with an 0-6 record. The new teams include Coastal Carolina, Connecticut, Texas and Iowa.

D1Baseball editors and national writers determine the Top 25 rankings.
