PLAYER NOTES

Lucas Moore has been the ultimate weapon at the top of the lineup for the Cards. Moore leads the Cardinals and the ACC with 71 runs scored, second-most in all of Division I. The speedy outfielder is also pacing the league going 40-for-41 in stolen bases. He also ranks second in the ACC in hits, fourth in triples and batting average, and seventh in on-base percentage.
Eddie King Jr. went on the shelf with an injury just four games into the season and missed nearly three weeks. King returned to the starting lineup for the first time in the finale of the North Carolina series, but he has been red hot since returning. The senior is 34-for-89 (.382) in his last 25 games, with 11 doubles, eight home runs, 26 runs scored and 33 RBIs. King led the Cardinals in home runs and RBIs in 2024.
Jake Schweitzer has become a key cog in the Louisville bullpen in his first season with the Cardinals. Since allowing three runs in his collegiate debut, the Louisville native has surrendered just two earned runs in 26.0 innings (0.69 ERA) across 15 relief appearances. Schweitzer has earned his first three career wins in the last month against No. 20 Western Kentucky, No. 2 Clemson and No. 4 Florida State, and a save versus No. 10 Vanderbilt..
Zion Rose has an exception freshman campaign that saw him hit .380 with 19 extra-base hits and 32 RBIs while finishing with more walks than strikeouts. The 2025 season has seen more of the same but with more damage. Rose is hitting .333 and already has 26 extra-base hits and a team-leading 50 RBIs. The increase in production hasn't affected his plate discipline though, as he has 25 walks and six HBPs to just 27 strikeouts.
