Individual Team Previews:

Vanderbilt – One of five SEC teams hosting a regional in this year's NCAA Tournament, the Commodores earned one of the last #1 seeds given out by the selection committee. Offensively, the Commodores are led by sophomore infielder Dansby Swanson (.336 average, 30 RBI, 17 stolen bases) and junior Vince Conde (.306 average, 43 RBI, .407 on-base percentage).

Pitching wise, junior Tyler Beede is the ace of the staff and one of the better pitchers in the country. Beede was selected in the first round of the 2011 MLB draft out of high school but chose Vanderbilt instead. Now he's a likely top 10 pick in the 2014 draft. Sporting a 3.49 ERA and 92 strikeouts in 90 innings pitched, he's likely facing the winner of Oregon-Clemson on Friday.

Clemson –Â The Tigers were one of the final four teams put into the field by the selection committee, overcoming a slow start by winning 11 of their last 15 games to end the regular season. Sophomore Tyler Krieger leads the way with a .330 average and an astounding 25 walks to only 23 strikeouts and junior Garrett Boulware boasts an impressive .382 on-base percentage to go with his .303 batting average.

On the mound, junior Daniel Gossett has been filthy, ringing up 102 batters en route to a 7-1 record and sub-two ERA. Senior Matt Campbell mans the back end for the Tigers with eight saves and an 0.87 ERA.

Xavier – The Musketeers earned their way into the NCAA Tournament by winning the Big East Tournament. Junior catcher Derek Hasenbeck sports a .307 average and a team-leading six home runs. Patrick Jones (.367) and Mitch Elliot (.316) provide some pop off the bench for a top-heavy Xavier offense.

Their pitching staff is inconsistent to say the least with senior Vinny Nittoli (1.98) sporting the only sub-four ERA of the starting rotation. They'll have a hard time getting past Vanderbilt, especially if anyone other Nittoli takes the mound.
