The preseason Big Ten coaches poll was released on Wednesday and, to nobody’s surprise, Indiana has been tabbed as the favorite to win the league. The coaches selected Nebraska, Minnesota, Maryland, Michigan, and Iowa to finish second through sixth, respectively.
In addition to predicting the top six teams in the league, the coaches named three players from each club to the Big Ten Preseason Honors List. Closer/DH Matt Lloyd, third basemen Luke Miller and right fielder Logan Sowers were the Indiana selections.
Indiana (34-24-2 in 2017) brings back a lot of key pieces from their 2017 squad.
