The Sweet Sixteen Baseball style includes some really good match-ups, assuming the pitching aces aces go full throttle.

  • Florida vs. Auburn could showcase Casey Mize vs. Brady Singer. 
  • Vanderbilt vs. Mississippi State is a battle of two SEC powerhouses. 
  • Arkansas vs. South Carolina is another SEC tilt. 
  • Cal State Fullerton vs. Washington is a battle of two west coast powers. 
  • Atlantic Sun champion Stetson challenges North Carolina, Logan Gilbert gives them a punchers chance. 
  • Texas Tech vs. Duke and Texas vs. Tennessee Tech are both battles of Texas v. Cinderella.
  • Oregon State vs. Minnesota is another powerhouse vs. Cinderella story. 
At least one of the Cinderella's will go on a run and try to replicate what Coastal Carolina did. I like Stetson's chance to fill the bill in that category, especially if their pitching shows up large.
