Coming of a 3-1 week and a great (and surprising) sweep of FGCU we've got another really tough week coming up. The Hokies visit Lynchburg on Tuesday before we travel to Georgia for our weekend series against KSU. We are 20-10 overall, 7-5 in ASUN play, and #36 in the RPI.
VT is 20-8 overall, 7-6 in the ACC, and #40 in the RPI. This is another ridiculous ACC offense. A team .322 average, with a 1.044 OPS, 69 homeruns, and 42 stolen bases. Six starters with an OPS over 1.000. Obviously they have several guys having great seasons and outfielder Gavin Cross is among them. He is one of the highest rated (#22) draft prospects for this summer's draft. They certainly don't have the outstanding pitching like UVA but it's still a really good team.
KSU is 21-9 overall, 10-2 in the ASUN, and #10 in the RPI. KSU is clearly a good team. I think they are very similar to FGCU as they both seem to slug their way to victories. They have a great offense with a mediocre pitching staff that has a 4.71 team ERA. They have a few standouts offensively with Josh Hatcher leading the way slashing .415/.469/.669 with 15 doubles. This is a huge series for our RPI as well as the conference standings since KSU is first in the east. Let's hope the our pitching dominates the Owls the way we did FGCU. We could be tied for first if we were to sweep them.
I haven't seen our baseball team play in person since 2020 just before the season was cancelled when we had a series at Clemson and I plan on being there for the Saturday game. KSU is only about an hour away. I'm really looking forward to it hopefully the weather is nice. As of right now there is a good chance of rain Saturday.
