They were a 2 seed so definitely did not back into the regionals. ACC is
brutal, and to finish 15-15 will generally lock in a bid. In our case we also had a tough non-conference schedule. My critique of Szefc would be that he did not capitalize as much as you'd reasonably expect after the great 2022 run. HS recruiting has been uneven, but his 2027 class looks to be his best on paper. Last 2 years were eh recruiting wise but they really got hit by injuries more than just about anyone those years as well.
Hopefully with more scholarships this upcoming season we will get more from the portal this cycle and keep it going, as before we could not offer as much. We need 3-4 impact pitchers, at least.
