Maryland baseball enters 2018 after a tumultuous offseason that saw some key contributors leave the program. None were more important than head coach John Szefc, who left the program to take the same job at Virginia Tech. Longtime assistant Rob Vaughn takes over after five years as an assistant.
Despite being an offensive-minded coach, Vaughn must find a way to navigate the pitching staff questions this year. The Terps return two of their three weekend starters from 2017, but there is plenty of turnover beyond that.
Maryland must handle some change at the top of its rotation and the back of its bullpen entering 2017.
