First year head coach Jeff Mercer inherits a team that went 40-19 (14-9) last season, before losing in the NCAA Regionals, and expect to make another deep run this season.
Baseball American came out with their projected NCAA Tournament field with the Indiana Hoosiers seeded on the 3 line in the Clemson, South Carolina region.
The Hoosiers are projected to finish third in the Big Ten behind Minnesota and Michigan, who is projected to win the conference.
With five players on the roster ranked in the top 20 Big Ten pro prospects, two more than any other team, Indiana has the skill to make a deep postseason run.
