MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — The return of college baseball is upon us.
On Wednesday, WVU baseball head coach Randy Mazey held a video conference to preview his club’s 2023 campaign, which begins Feb. 17. The Mountaineers will open their season with a three-game series against Georgia Southern.
Mazey’s crew is picked to finish sixth in the Big 12 Conference this season. Last year, despite a solid resume, the Mountaineers failed to make the NCAA Tournament. They were eliminated from the league tournament after going 0-2, marking a disappointing end to a promising season.
The Mountaineers have added 15 freshmen entering the 2023 season, and Mazey has big expectations for a handful of those players. He also thinks highly of his pitching staff, including lefty Ben Hampton, who is coming off a tremendous summer in the Cape Cod League.
