TEAM TO BEAT: ARIZONA STATE

ast season, Arizona State was clearly a good team. They started the season 21-0 and their offense was good enough to keep the team in most games, but they were a bit short on the mound, which led to their elimination as the No. 2 seed in the Baton Rouge Regional. This year could be a different story. With Spencer Torkelson, Alika Williams, Gage Workman and Trevor Hauver back in the lineup, the offense will be potent again. And Williams, Drew Swift and Sam Ferri give ASU excellent defensive potential as well. The pitching talent and depth is on another level in 2020.
