UConn Baseball Ranked No. 9 By Baseball America

The UConn Huskies baseball team is coming off of a record setting 2010 season that saw them net 48 wins and a berth in the 2010 NCAA Baseball Playoffs. They eventually were knocked out by the Oregon Ducks in the NCAA Regionals that were held at Dodd Stadium in Norwich, CT.

But the Huskies have a solid nucleus of players back including George Springer, Mike Nemeth and Matt Barnes who look to get the Huskies back to the postseason for the second straight year. And with those players back plus many more, the Huskies have been ranked No. 9 by Baseball America in their top 25 preseason poll.

Here’s a quick synopsis of what Baseball America has to say about the Huskies:

Baseball America OFP: 65. Connecticut will prove that its school-record 48-win 2010 season was no fluke, as its roster is among the most complete and balanced in college baseball. No New England team has reached Omaha since Maine in 1986, but UConn is well equipped to end that drought.
