When we last checked in Sun Devil baseball’s RPI for this season two weeks ago, they stood at 23. That is no longer the case. Despite winning the series versus Utah and taking a game from Oregon State, ASU’s RPI stands at 40 on Monday. A midweek loss to UNLV and the one loss to the Utes hurt the team’s ranking as UNLV was 117th and Utah was 118th last week in RPI.
As we stated a few weeks ago based on last year’s regional hosts, the RPI needs to be closer to 20 for Phoenix Municipal Stadium to host.
