The Mountain West Conference baseball tournament is upon us, so we reached out to people familiar with each of the seven teams in order to gain some insight about them.
More than any other team in this year's conference tournament, the UNLV Rebels may be the most difficult to figure out. They were only slightly below average both at home and on the road, and inside and outside of conference play, as well, but they finished fourth in the conference despite one of the more lackluster team offenses and its worst team defense. All together, it's made for a tough draw in New Mexico: The league's best lineup in Air Force first and then, with a win, the league's best pitching staff in Fresno State.
