With this year’s ACC Baseball Championship all but officially in the books, one thing is clear about this event: The format isn’t a complete disaster, but it doesn’t cut it. In fact, it doesn’t come particularly close.
Louisville was a great host. The accommodations were top notch. The ACC, as usual, treated the media and teams wonderfully to honor their efforts. All involved should be commended for this. It does not go unnoticed.
On the field, however, this tournament just wasn’t good. It wasn’t exciting. It wasn’t particularly competitive during pool play. It wasn’t compelling. It didn’t build.
