There weren't any "Hello, My Name is" stickers attached to the FIU baseball team's practice shirts on Monday afternoon but it would not have been stretch to have seen them.
The Panthers began fall practice Monday at the FIU ballpark with more than half of a new team after graduation and a successful Major League Baseball draft resulted in the roster turnover.
FIU lost 18 players from last year's team, including six players taken in the MLB draft – the second most in FIU baseball history after the 1989 FIU team. In addition, 14 signees were drafted from the 2017 FIU signing class, which was ranked No.
