The outstanding 2020 class rankings follow the 2019 class that saw national rankings of 3rd by Collegiate Baseball, 9th by D1Baseball, 11th by Baseball America, and 38th by Perfect Game. Perfect Game's 2019 ranking was different from the other sources in that it didn't include JUCO talent in the class, which was a major percentage of the group. That doesn't seem to be an issue for the online service with the 2020 class. In any case, it appears that Head Coach Mark Kingston and staff have done well in bringing top talent into the program. Now lets go play ball!
