If Old Dominion University's baseball roster remains unchanged over the next few weeks, the Monarchs would be overwhelming favorites to successfully defend their Conference USA title.
In fact, they would also have a good shot at making their first trip to the College Baseball World Series in Omaha.
All but three players are eligible to return and outfielder Kyle Battle is the only starter among those who are definitely leaving. Everyone else technically could return from the team that won 44 games and advanced to the championship game of the Columbia Regional in South Carolina.
