(January 26, 2016) — The annual preseason baseball rankings from the Lone Star Conference were announced Tuesday morning and Texan Baseball was picked to finish fourth.
Tarleton received 52 total votes, finishing 21 votes ahead of Cameron and Eastern New Mexico in a fifth-place tie and 28 votes behind Angelo State for third. Last season’s co-champions of the league, West Texas A&M (94) and Texas A&M-Kingsville (90), finished at the top of the poll.
The Texans are coming off their seventh consecutive trip to the Lone Star Conference Tournament and second straight appearance in the title game of the tournament. Tarleton returns 14 lettermen from last season, including all-LSC infielder Alec Humphreys.
The season is set to begin Friday for the first of a three-game series in Arkadelphia, Arkansas against No. 12 Henderson State. The following weekend, Tarleton will head to Houston for the fourth time to compete in the Winter Invitational at Minute Maid Park on Feb. 5-7.
