The Memphis Tigers have made a habit of being at the very least a competitive baseball program, regularly reaching 30 wins and performing at a high level. Something went wrong, though, last season and the Tigers found themselves near the bottom of the American Athletic Conference. Now in the 13th season under Daron Schoenrock, the Tigers will try to reverse course in 2017.
