DURHAM, N.C. – The Duke baseball team held its first official practice of the spring Friday at Jack Coombs Field as the Blue Devils are set for their fourth season under the direction of head coach Chris Pollard. The Blue Devils were picked to finish fifth in the ACC Coastal Division by a vote of the league head coaches Wednesday.
Duke enjoyed its second consecutive 30-win season in 2015, compiling a 31-22 overall record. The Blue Devils have posted back-to-back 30-win campaigns for the first time since 2008-09 and Pollard is the first Duke head coach to guide the program to two 30-win seasons in his first three campaigns.
