The Carolina baseball team will start the 2016 season ranked No. 16.
The preseason ranking comes from D1Baseball.
Florida tops the poll.
Six ACC teams are ranked in the preseason poll. Louisville sits second. Miami is sixth, N.C. State is tenth, defending national champion Virginia is 13th, and Florida State is 20th. The six ACC teams in the Top 25 places it second among all of the country’s conferences. The SEC has seven teams in the poll.
Carolina baseball begins the season on February 19 with a three-game series is California against No. 11 UCLA. The Tar Heels’ first home series will be against No. 8 Oklahoma State.
The Tar Heels will attempt to make the NCAA tournament for the 16th time under head coach Mike Fox.
Fox and the Tar Heels finished the 2015 season with a record of 34-24.
The future is bright for the Carolina baseball team. Fox signed the No. 1 recruiting class of 2016. But, those players will not come to Chapel Hill until the fall. They will not take the field for the Tar Heels until the 2017 season.
