Louisville Baseball Receives Third Preseason No. 1 Ranking

The Cardinals sit atop the D1Baseball preseason poll.

LOUISVILLE – January 14, 2020

As the start of the 2020 season quickly approaches, the University of Louisville baseball program earned its third No. 1 ranking with the release of the D1Baseball preseason poll on Monday.

The Cardinals have been atop all three preseason polls released to date, with D1Baseball joining Collegiate Baseball Newspaper and Perfect Game in deeming UofL the preseason favorite.

Louisville is one of eight Atlantic Coast Conference teams ranked in the D1Baseball poll, with seven in the top 20. The Cardinals’ 2020 schedule features 19 games against teams in the preseason rankings, including a road game at No. 2 Vanderbilt and three-game series at No. 3 Miami.

Louisville is coming off a 51-18 record during the 2019 campaign that saw it win the ACC Atlantic Division for the fourth time in five years and reach the bracket final at the College World Series, the deepest postseason run in program history.

Head coach Dan McDonnell is set to begin his 14th season at the helm of the Louisville program and returns 24 players from last year’s team that finished the year ranked third nationally.

Louisville opens the 2020 season Feb. 14 with a three-game series on the road at Ole Miss in Oxford, Miss. The Cardinals’ home opener is set for Feb. 19 against Wright State at Jim Patterson Stadium.
