Collegiate Baseball released its annual Preseason Top 40 poll on Tuesday, ranking UNC at No. 8 to begin the upcoming 2019 campaign.
The Tar Heels are fresh off their first appearance in the College World Series since 2013, and return plenty of firepower–led by junior first baseman Michael Busch.
UNC is one of eight teams from the ACC included in the poll, and is ranked above each of the other seven: No. 9 Louisville, No. 10 Florida State, No. 15 Clemson, No. 17 Georgia Tech, No. 20 Duke, No. 22 NC State and No. 33 Miami.
Regular season play will begin for the Tar Heels with a three-game series at home against Xavier that starts on Feb. 15.
