The North Carolina Tar Heels are getting a lot of love in the preseason polls. Much of that, as previewed by Akil last week, is due to the strength on the mound and depth in the bullpen.
Carolina is replacing the entire outfield and two stars in the infield, and as such, a lot of offensive production.
Center fielder Vance Honeycutt, left fielder Casey Cook, and right fielder Anthony Donofrio all made the jump to the pros. The trio had a combined 214 runs last year, nearly half of the total runs scored during the 2024 season.
