Now at the halfway point of the college baseball season this site just put out its first NCAA bracket projection and has BYU as a #1 seed hosting one of the 16 regionals. I don't know if BYU can hold this spot for the rest of the season, but being talked about as this level of team so far this year is a BIG deal.

Coach Littlewood is building a nice program here now which was so overdue at BYU. Now his next challenge is going to be rebuilding every year as he is going to be getting a few kids drafted every season. Coach Pullins regularly dealt with that. However, we just forgot it was possible under Vance Law. |
We will probably keep Kyle Dean another year because of his injury.
BYU is doing nicely, but I see some holes in its pitching rotation. The reason BYU lost to Arizona was BYU didn't want to throw any of its normal pitchers in rotation because it wanted them ready for the USD series. And some of the relievers are less than reliable.
Every good program gets players drafted regularly. BYU has the added problem of missions.
When does baseball sign recruits for next year? November or April? Did BYU sign any notable players for next year?
Colton Shavers may be drafted and Rucker, if he is not a senior, could be gone.
