#4 St. John's Cadets
The Cadets are coming off of a twenty-three win season that ended in the WCAC Championship at the hands of the Gonzaga Eagles. The Cadets will come into 2023 looking for revenge and to reclaim their WCAC title, which they have won an astounding twenty-one times. The Cadets return the vast majority of their team and their somewhat young roster from 2022 is a year older. Expect big contributions from Brayden Martin (Florida State), Colin Gibbs (East Carolina), Adam Troch (Duke), Breyden Ruiz-Weiss, Andrew Powers (VCU), Marcus Martin (High Point), and Andy Francis. Ben Thomason (UMass-Amherst) should pencil in near the top of the rotation and should get help from Clayton Armah (Auburn), Marcus Martin, and a few others.
.@SJC_Baseball add two on the board with 24 Colin Gibbs (ECU commit), who laces a liner up the middle.
