We may be two weeks away from the reporting date for MLB pitchers and catchers, but the college baseball season is already upon us.

Today was the first day of workouts for Division I squads, with virtually every major program taking the field for that first practice. There are a lot of good stories out there in college baseball this season: the University of Oregon is fielding a squad for the first time since 1981, while Ray Tanner’s USC Gamecocks will be playing at the new, $36-million Carolina Stadium. LSU — which will open the season in a new Alex Box Stadium — enters the season as the number-one squad in the nation, led by five Louisville Slugger preseason All-Americans.
