The Miami Hurricanes earned another preseason accolade on Monday afternoon when they were ranked No.21 in the D1Baseball preseason poll. Miami comes into the season ranked because of a strong lineup that returns several key contributors from last season, although the Hurricanes must replace their entire starting rotation.
Miami’s opening opponent, Florida, was ranked No.1 in the poll, and the Gators are on their way to being the consensus preseason No.1 team; setting up a massive ranked matchup on the first weekend of the season between the Hurricanes and the Gators. The ACC was one of the most well represented conferences in the poll, with seven teams from the conference ranked ahead of the season.
