In just two weeks, the ping of metal bats will be heard again at Dan Law Field as the Texas Tech baseball team sets out to climb the ultimate mountain and try to bring home the program’s first national championship. This week, the Big 12 preseason poll was released and to no one’s surprise, Tim Tadlock’s team was again at the top.
Receiving six out of a possible eight first-place votes (there are only nine teams that play baseball in the Big 12 and coaches couldn’t vote for their own team), Tech is the overwhelming favorite to capture another league crown.
