The ACC race should be as competitive as ever, with 10 legitimate postseason contenders heading into 2019, and four others that hope to surprise. Find out how they all stack up.

Reigning national champion Oregon State and the Pac-12 Conference lead the way in D1Baseball’s 2019 Preseason All-America teams.

NC State has an outstanding trio of returning stars to build around, but it needs breakout candidates like Devonte Brown to harness their potential in order to make noise again in the ACC.

North Carolina and NC State both clinched big series on a magical day in the Triangle, keeping them atop their respective divisions. Both teams displayed their abundant character in the process.

Freshman catcher Patrick Bailey showed again that he’s a rising star, hitting a big home run to help lead NC State past UNC in a neutral-site rivalry game. It was a good college baseball showcase in a banner year for the state.

Cooper Criswell came out of the bullpen and struck out 13 of the 20 batters he faced for surging North Carolina, which won its first series at Miami since 2008, headlining Saturday’s action.

Evan Edwards homered twice to help NC State overcome a five-run deficit Sunday. His arrival from the juco ranks has made a very good offense even more dangerous.

Brad Debo will help lead a potent NC State lineup, and the Wolfpack will count upon some less proven arms to fill holes alongside its veterans on the mound.
