Why this season is important for Radford Baseball

This season is important for Radford baseball because it is the first time in program history that the team will be playing in the NCAA Division I Baseball Tournament The team has a chance to make a run at the National Championship and they will be looking to build on their success from last season.

What Ford Baseball needs to do to win

Ford baseball is coming off of a successful 2019 season in which they made it to the NCAA tournament for the first time since 2009. They will be looking to build off of that success in 2020, and here are a few things they will need to do to have a successful season

-Win more close games: In 2019, Radford was 9-9 in games decided by two runs or less. They will need to improve on that record in 2020 if they want to make noise in the NCAA Tournament

-Get off to a better start: In 2019, Radford started the season 11-15. While they were able to turn things around and make the NCAA tournament they will need to have a better start to the season if they want to make a deep run in the tournament.

– Improve their road record: In 2019, Radford was just 10-17 on the road. If they can improve that record in 2020, it will go a long way towards helping them make a deep run in the NCAA tournament

The Key Players to watch this season

As the 2020 Radford baseball season approaches, let’s take a look at the key players to Watch This Season These are the guys that could make or break the team’s chances of success this year.

Pitcher Liam Hendricks is one of the top returning players for the Highlanders. He posted a 3.86 ERA in 2019 and will be looked to as the ace of the staff this season. Other key pitchers include Ryan Hershberger and Tristan Clarke, who both had solid 2019 campaigns.

The Radford offense will be led by outfielder/first baseman Jordan Qsar. He hit .301 with 10 home runs and 33 RBI last season and will be looked upon to provide some power in the middle of the lineup. Other key offensive contributors include second baseman Hunter Higgerson, who hit .290 last season, and shortstop Austin Hamilton, who provides good contact at the top of the lineup.
