The Big East office announced that the Seton Hall baseball team ranked third in the Preseason Coaches Poll and had two players named to the Preseason All-Big East team.
Graduate students Tyler Shedler-McAvoy and Matt Toke were two of three players unanimously selected for this year’s preseason team. Shedler-McAvoy was also named Big East Preseason Co-Player of the Year along with the University of Connecticut’s Kyler Fedko.
Seton Hall received one first-place vote in this year’s Preseason Coaches’ Poll and was picked to finish third in the conference behind Creighton and UConn, respectively. This season’s poll has the Pirates ranked one place lower than last year and with two fewer first-place votes prior to the abrupt COVID-19-induced cancellation of the 2020 season.
