LAFAYETTE – With a heavy chunk of last season’s roster that made it to a super regional tournament returning, the Louisiana-Lafayette baseball team was tabbed as preseason Sun Belt Conference favorites by the league’s coaches.
In the poll, the Cajuns received eight of 11 possible first-place votes to finish six points ahead of South Alabama, who received the other three first-place votes. This is the third consecutive season the Cajuns were picked as preseason favorites.
The Cajuns placed a league-high four players on the preseason All-SBC team, with sophomore pitchers Gunner Leger and Dylan Moore being joined by senior position players Stefan Trosclair and Kyle Clement.
