Lejeune and Hill are also studs. Will be interesting to see if they stay out west. PAC12 baseball is a completely different world than around here.

11/12 on my predictions with 1 game to go.

Pretty impressive by CC. Grace had some pop in their lineup for a small school. Especially for a school that got the #1 see with a total of 9 wins all year.
