Key Players
Travis Bazzana (2B)Jacob Kmatz (RHP)Jabin Trosky (OF)
BSI Outlook
Travis Bazzana is a potential #1 overall pick. The Pac-12 is weakened, which should mean a conference title and top-8 national seed.
BSI Verdict
Both squads are Contender tier. This one comes down to matchups and who peaks in June.
