2024 Big West College Baseball Preview

But no matter what RPI or other tournament selection–metrics say, this conference has college baseball very much worth watching. UCSB has one of the better pitching staffs in the country. UCI returns every starter from a lineup that ranked 27th in the nation in scoring—no Big West team has ranked higher since UCSB ranked 13th in 2004. CSUN is coming off its best season since 2002.
