Penn State baseball is coming off its best season in recent history and the sights are set on reaching even further strides after a berth in the Big Ten Championship.
With the sights set on a spot in the NCAA Tournament, the national competition will be a focal point this season.
Alabama
The Crimson Tide are the best of the bunch from last season as they went 33-24, earning a No. 2 seed in the Tallahassee regional.
Alabama plays in a more prestigious conference, where a nine-game difference in its record looks better in a conference that sent 11 teams to the tournament compared to the Big Ten, which sent three teams.
