They have a knack for always putting a good product on the field–especially since 2012 when they made their iconic run to the College World Series. After finishing 27-27 in 2016, they are looking to do improve on that mark. A rotation led by Bret Clarke, who boasted a 6-2 record with a 2.19 ERA overall and a 3-1 record and a 1.32 ERA in conference games, will need to rely on the youth of the rec...
