UVA baseball and softball place favorably in preseason rankings

With growing frustration among UVA fans regarding the revenue sports, the pressure is on the spring athletes to salvage the 2024-25 academic year. Fortunately, things look promising for both Virginia Cavaliers sports on the diamond.

Preseason rankings were released on Monday, with the ‘Hoos projecting as the nation’s No. 2 team per D1Baseball and placing 24th on Softball America.

On the baseball side, this may not come as a surprise to most. As Gavin illustrated last week, Brian O’Connor returns several of his top position players to pair a pitching staff that is destined to improve.
