- Cleburne Railroaders (7-3, 1st in East)
Cleburne will welcome its fans to its home opener on Tuesday as the top team in the East Division with a 7-3 record, fresh off a huge 4-2 series victory on the road in Milwaukee. The Railroaders’ offense has been outstanding to start the year, scoring 94 total runs in their 10 games, by far the most in the Association. They’ve hit a league-high 18 home runs as a team and have an impressive team OPS of .903. The Railroaders’ offensive machine is led in part by rookie Ryan Hernandez, who has four home runs and 13 RBI on the young season. Former major leaguer Delino DeShields has also been a welcome addition, hitting .349 on the year with a grand slam as well. The Railroaders’ pitching staff hasn’t been shabby either, as they lead the league in strikeouts with 103.
- Sioux City Explorers (8-1, 1st in West)
How about the Explorers? Sioux City is off to its best start in franchise history at 8-1 after going on the road to Kane County and sweeping the Cougars. Contrary to Cleburne, what pops off the stat sheet when you look at the start for Sioux City is the pitching staff. The Explorers currently lead the league in ERA at 2.39, nearly a full run better than the next closest team. Solomon Bates leads the squad with 17 strikeouts after winning pitcher of the week honors for his seven strong innings against the DockHounds on Thursday. As a team, they have given up more than two runs in a game just twice this season. Offensively, Vince Fernandez has been the run producer, sitting in 7th place on the league leaderboard with 11 RBI.
- Chicago Dogs (6-3, T-2nd in East)
Chicago is feeling good going into a big six-game set against Cleburne as it’s won each of its three series to start the season, including most recently against the reigning champion Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks. Chicago has been stronger on the pitching side than offensively as well, sitting third in team ERA with a 3.18, including two shutouts. The Dogs have done their damage by winning close games and coming up with clutch hits, most notably from league home-run leader Josh Altmann who has five. The signature moment thus far of the Dogs’ season came on Mother’s Day, when Altmann hit a three-run shot to tie the game in the ninth with his mother in the stands.
- Gary SouthShore RailCats (6-3, T-2nd in East)
Speaking of teams who have won all of their opening series, the Gary SouthShore RailCats are even with the Dogs and competing in a tightly packed East early on, most recently going on the road to take two of three from Lincoln. Offensively Gary has been in the middle of the pack, but the bats have exploded in a few games including a 10-0 win against Winnipeg and a 13-1 win against Kansas City. However, the pitching has been very strong, boasting the league’s second best ERA at 3.15 and second-best BAA at just .219. Offensively, LG Castillo and Francisco Del Valle have led the way with 13 RBI and 3 home runs respectively, with Daniel Lingua also leading the team with a .379 batting average.
- Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks (5-4, 2nd in West)
If you expected the RedHawks to be higher on this list after what we saw last season, you wouldn’t be alone. However, it’s still been a solid start for the reigning champs, who won their first two series in Kane County and against Winnipeg, but just dropped two of three in Chicago. Now that the banner celebration is over and the rings have been passed out, the RedHawks will have to get the bats going as they’re currently hitting just .221 as a team. The talent on this team has still been on display though, with Sam Dexter hitting .321, Correlle Prime doing work at the plate and on the mound, and a strong rotation including league legend Kevin McGovern, Tyler Grauer and closer Reid Birlingmair who has four saves already.

Cal State Fullerton • D1Baseball

From 1992 to 2018, the Cal State Fullerton Titans participated in the NCAA Baseball tournament every single year. That is 27 consecutive seasons for those of you keeping score at home. In the history of college baseball, only Florida State and Miami (44 consecutive seasons) have authored longer streaks. The Titans rose to prominence under the legendary Augie Garrido, and they never looked back.
Four different head coaches led Fullerton to Omaha during that run: Garrido, George Horton, Dave Serrano, and Rick Vanderhook. All four men earned national championship rings during their lengthy tenures at the school. The program’s continuity[…]

2023 Fall Report: Wake Forest • D1Baseball

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The 2023 Wake Forest season had to be bittersweet for those around the program.
With a run to the semifinals of the College World Series, it was the best season for the program since it won the national title way back in 1955, but on the other hand, it’s painful to come that close to the ultimate goal and fall short against the eventual national champions in LSU after a season in which it spent a significant portion of time as the number one team in the nation.
But getting so close and yet so far has[…]
