Duke Ranked 15th in D1Baseball Preseason Poll
1/13/2020 10:06:00 AM | Baseball
DURHAM, N.C. – The Duke baseball team finds itself nationally ranked in another preseason poll as the Blue Devils came in at No. 15 on the Preseason D1Baseball Poll. The ranking serves as the second top-25 ranking for Duke this preseason after Perfect Game listed the Blue Devils at No. 11 on its preseason list—the highest-ever ranking in a preseason poll for Duke.
Duke is one of eight ACC teams in the D1Baseball Top 25, joining top-ranked Louisville, No. 3 Miami, No. 12 Florida State, No. 16 NC State, No. 18 Wake Forest, No. 19 Georgia Tech and No. 23 North Carolina. The Blue Devils also have one non-conference foe in the poll, with No. 21 East Carolina receiving preseason recognition.
In 2019, the Blue Devils made a magical postseason run in the NCAA Tournament, culminating in the program's second straight and second-ever NCAA Super Regional. The NCAA Tournament appearance marked the second consecutive appearance for the Blue Devils and the third in the last four seasons.
The program concluded the 2019 campaign as a consensus top-20 team for the second straight season. Duke received rankings as high as 16th in the national polls, while being recognized as a top-20 team amongst five different publications.
After four Blue Devils began their professional careers and six graduated last spring, Duke returns seven starting position players, including consensus Freshman All-American Ethan Murray and standout pitcher Bryce Jarvis.
Twelve players have joined the Blue Devil rankings for this upcoming season, including 11 freshmen and one transfer in Luke Hartman from Bucknell.
This is the third consecutive and third-ever season that Duke has been ranked in the preseason. The Blue Devils open the 2019 season Feb. 14-16, welcoming Army West Point for a three-game home series at Durham Bulls Athletic Park.
