South Carolina baseball finished a strong 2023 season in the super regional round of the NCAA Tournament. That result was the Gamecocks’ first appearance in the supers since 2018, and South Carolina baseball’s regional host status was the program’s first top-16 seed since 2016, and second baseman Will McGillis was a big reason for that success. A former transfer, McGillis transferred to Carolina, in part, to give himself a chance to be taken in the 2023 MLB Draft.
McGillis only spent one year in Columbia and missed almost half the season with a broken bone in his arm.
