The WKU baseball team was projected to finish seventh in the Conference USA Preseason Coaches Poll, the league office announced on Wednesday.
The Hilltoppers finished fourth in the C-USA standings last season en route to the team’s first-ever C-USA Tournament victory.
Additionally, senior infielder Richard Constantine was selected to the C-USA Preseason All-Conference Team by the league’s 12 head coaches.
Constantine, who played in 32 games while missing a portion of the season due to injury, split time as a designated hitter and first baseman for the Hilltoppers in 2019.
Despite logging limited action, Constantine was still able to finish the season tied for second on the team with seven home runs.
