The Cardinals sit atop the Collegiate Baseball preseason poll released Monday.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. – For the first time in program history, the University of Louisville baseball program will begin the season as the No. 1 ranked team as the Cardinals sit atop the Collegiate Baseball preseason poll released on Monday.
This marks just the second time the Cardinals have been the top-ranked team in the country, having held the No. 1 ranking for a pair of weeks during March of 2017.
Louisville holds the top spot followed by Vanderbilt, Texas Tech, Miami and Arizona State. Seven ACC teams find themselves in the top-40 poll, with six ranked No. 17 or better.
The Cardinals are coming off a 51-18 record during the 2019 campaign that saw them win the ACC Atlantic Division for the fourth time in five years and reach the bracket final at the College World Series, the deepest postseason run in program history.
Head coach Dan McDonnell is set to begin his 14th season at the helm of the Louisville program and returns 24 players from last year's team that finished the year ranked third nationally.
Louisville opens the 2020 season Feb. 14 with a three-game series on the road at Ole Miss in Oxford, Miss. The Cardinals' home opener is set for Feb. 19 against Wright State at Jim Patterson Stadium.
