Over the past few days, D1Baseball released their preseason player rankings. Several Liberty and CUSA players made the cut:
2B Aidan Sweatt (#28)
3B Cameron Foster (#45)
OF Kane Kepley (#91)
SP Garrett Horn (#97)
SP Cole Hertzler (#150)
Matching Liberty’s five players on the lists are DBU and LaTech (kind of–Ethan Bates is on the list twice). SHSU and WKU each have one player making the lists:
Catcher
#9 Walker Janek (SHSU)
#17 Grant Jay (DBU)
#21 Jorge Corona (LaTech)
First Base
#36 Dalton Davis (LaTech)
Second Base
#25 Miguel Santos (DBU)
#31 Ethan Bates (LaTech)

#26 Kasten Furr (LaTech)
Outfield
#30 Nathan Humphreys (DBU)
#34 Ethan Mann (DBU)
Starting Pitcher
#28 Ryan Johnson (DBU)
Relief Pitcher

It’s clear that D1Baseball sees Liberty, DBU, and LaTech as having the most upper-end talent on their rosters.
