Duke Baseball 2025

I just saw this shared on Duke Baseball's FB page. From two days ago, but very cool!

No.
4️⃣
: @charliebeilenson became the first consensus First Team All-American in program history
 
Here's another pre-season ranking which has Duke at #9:


8 of the Top 25 are in the ACC.

Records indicated are from 2024.

9. Duke (40-20, 16-14)

The Blue Devils return an impressive array of talent in 2025, thanks in no small part to a quietly great draft for them. All-American closer Charlie Beilenson and No. 1 starter Jonathan Santucci must be replaced, but the Blue Devils again set up well on the mound. Starters Andrew Healy and Kyle Johnson return, as does Gabriel Nard, who ranked second on the team to Beilenson in appearances.

Offensively, top hitter Ben Miller returns, as do Wallace Clark and Freshman All-American AJ Gracia. Duke has all the ingredients of a team that can make a lot of noise in 2025.
 
This will be interesting.

Beginning this spring with the 2025 ACC Baseball Championship in Durham, North Carolina, all 16 teams in the ACC will compete in a single-elimination championship. The championship will remain six days as it has in previous years, running from Tuesday, May 20, through Sunday, May 25, 2025, from Durham Bulls Athletic Park.

 
“All 16 teams in the ACC”

I thought maybe Stanford and California were playing baseball in the WCC or the Big West, but no, they are in the ACC and making cross-country trips. It’s Syracuse and SMU — they don’t have baseball programs.

I’m curious as to why Syracuse has no baseball team simply as a major college within a two-hour drive to Cooperstown.

Also as a person who grew-up in Dallas I’m surprised SMU does not have a baseball team given all the talent in Texas.
 
This will be interesting.



They tried this back around 2017. Duke lost to Wake in the first game. Winning the ACCT has been a curse for years; if you win it, you almost never make it to Omaha. Unless you are the last team on or off the bubble, I expect teams to Roy Williams it going forward.

The Dome is in use for lacrosse. You can't exactly play outside.
