VT is playing elite defense.

VT has committed only 15 errors in 33 games. Two ACC teams have 40 or more errors. Nine have 30 or more. FSU (6th in RPI) has 39 errors. Duke (7th in RPI) has 32 errors. VT (14th in RPI) leads the ACC in fielding at .982. UNC is second at .973 and has 25 errors. Four Hokies are among the top 28 in ACC fielding. Five are in the Top 95 fielders listed by the ACC stats page. The entire VT infield + catcher are in the top 95. VT has not committed an error in 21 of 33 games in 2025 and committed more than one error in only two games. (Worst was three in second-game loss in LSU series. No surprise then that VT's ERA is second best in the ACC, at 2.50. Plus VT pitchers have a conference-leading 244 strikeouts and have given up the fewest extra base hits. The Hokies have hit 60 homeruns in 33 games. Next is FSU with 53 in 38 games. FSU is tops in batting average, at .373. VT is seventh, at .320.

That is with a true freshman playing 3rd. This group has very lively arms.
