QUICK HITS
- Sophomore Alex Mooney has reached base safely in 20 of his last 21 contests, dating back to the 2022 season. To begin the 2023 season, Mooney has tallied a four-game hitting streak and recorded his first multi-hit contest of the season on Wednesday against Liberty.
- Friday marks the first meeting in Durham between the Duke Blue Devils and Baylor Bears. The previous five matchups have been played in Waco, Texas with the all-time series record going to the Bears 4-1.
- Duke Baseball has collected 55 strikeouts through the first four games of the season, the highest tally since the 2019 campaign. The mark is ninth in the country entering the weekend and is second in the ACC. Wake Forest currently leads the country and the ACC in strikeouts with 68.
- Graduate transfer MJ Metz continues to be a tough out for the Blue Devils at the plate. Metz paces the Duke offense with a .444 average at the plate, scoring five runs and walking a team-high 6 times. He has added one hit by pitch and two extra-base hits.
