It's only March 5, but Virginia Tech has played 13 baseball games already. The Hokies are 11-2 following a 4-game sweep of Yale this past weekend, and their ACC slate begins with a three-game series at UVA starting Friday, March 9.
You might have followed the Tech baseball program when you were in school, or when Chuck Hartman was in his prime. You might have followed it two years ago when the Hokies were in the NCAA Tournament. Last year things were a bit ugly, as Tech lost 10 players to the MLB Draft off of their NCAA Tournament team, including all starting pitchers, so you probably turned your head in the other direction.
