Miami will open their season on Friday when they host Rutgers. As always, coach Jim Morris, said expectations are high.
"We got a lot of new players, some good players returning, so I think we have a good combination," said Morris. "Our pitching staff and our starters are very established and I feel very good about. I think we'll have a chance at having a pretty good club."
The UM's baseball team was ranked 13th in the preseason USA Today/ESPN Top 25 Coaches' Poll. The University of Florida topped the rankings, Florida State was ranked ninth.
