We've matched our win total from 2016 at 24 wins and have a chance to surpass it. We will not do as well in CAA play though. 13 wins in CAA play in 2016.

Opinions? Better? Worse? Meh?

I think still consider this season a success if we are able to match the win total from last season or slightly better it. The baseball staff is doing a great job getting out and aggressively recruiting. This team plays the glove pretty well and hits well.....the weak spot is pitching and is the toughest to address and fix. JMU baseball was left in a tough spot under the last few years of the previous coaches recruiting. It is not likely JMU is going to grab a stud pitcher that can immediately be a lights out weekend rotation guy like UVA can. So pitching is a work in progress but hopefully in year 3 under Ike we can see the pitching staff continue to improve. Without looking up the stats, I think the staff ERA is better than it was last year.
