Team Position
• It looks as if the Cal State Fullerton Titans are primed to
reclaim the Big West Conference title in 2015 after losing
the crown to Cal Poly last year, according to the nine conference coaches that voted on the 2015 Big West baseball
preseason poll. The Titans earned five first-place votes en
route to a total of 74 points with defending champion Cal
Poly one point back in second place after securing three
first-place votes and a 73 point-total. Picking up the final
first-place vote and grabbing the third spot in the poll were
the Gauchos of UC Santa Barbara with a total of 62 points,
while UC Irvine secured 56 points for fourth place.
Receiving 48 points, Long Beach State clinched the fifth
spot and CSUN secured a 25 point-total to place sixth.
UC Riverside and Hawai’i found themselves knotted in the
seventh slot with 24 points while UC Davis rounded out the
nine-team field with a total of 19 points.

Tid Bits
• Last fall Collegiate Baseball announced its annual evaluation of the NCAA Division I recruiting classes and Cal
State Fullerton and Long Beach State landed on the elite
list. The Titans secured the 10th spot while the Dirtbags
grabbed the 18th slot. Other Big West teams recognized
as having notable recruiting classes were Cal Poly, UC
Irvine, UC Riverside and UC Santa Barbara. The CBN’s
ranking uses only players who joined their respective programs for the 2014-15 school year and excludes all signees who decided to sign a professional contract.
