Big Ten baseball coaches picked Minnesota as the preseason favorite to win the 2019 Big Ten Baseball Championship on Wednesday. The coaches picked the top six teams and selected three players from their own squads to a Preseason Honors list. That way all of the sportswriters outside of Nebraska in the Big Ten might have a clue as to who they should talk about should they perhaps cover a college baseball game or two.
The preseason poll is as follows:
2019 Big Ten Baseball Preseason Picks
| 1 | Minnesota |
| 2 | Michigan |
| 3 | Illinois |
| 4 | Indiana |
| 5 | Ohio State |
| 6 | Nebraska |
| 6 | Purdue |
It’s understandable Minnesota gets picked as the preseason favorite.
