Before the calendar turns to May, @justin ferber takes a look at a few key storylines from UVa’s 2025 recruiting class to date and its success thus far.

Virginia jumped out to a 14 - 1 lead after 4 innings and began clearing the bench. By the time that the game ended after 6 and 1/2 innings, 14 position players and 10 pitchers had made an appearance for Virginia. Moore started on the mound and pitched 2 scoreless innings. The only other pitcher with more than 1 full inning was Woolfolk, who retired all 5 batters that he faced and earned the win to make his record 2-1 this season.
Six different Hoos hit home runs - Anderson, Didawick, Teel, Stephan, Whalen, and Becker. Godbout was 4 for 5, O'Ferrall and Stephon were both 3 for 4, and Anderson, Saucke, and Whalen each had 2 of the team's 20 hits. Virginia had 7 stolen bases and were led by O'Ferrall with 3 and Didawick with 2 including stealing home on a double steal.

With a week ahead with no games, I decided to look at who will likely be part of the team next year. First of all, I wanted to know who will definitely be gone and who will likely be gone from the 2024 team. The seniors and grad students include Coady, Ference, Savino, Schauer, Tonas, and Whalen. In addition, the team had a number of third years who might leave the team for several reasons - drafted by MLB, transfer to another program, or retire from college baseball. This list includes Anderson, Barker, Buchanan, Hungate, Kampschrar, O'Ferrall, Saucke, Stephan, and Woolfolk. Some of these will definitely leave, but our prospects will certainly be better if several of them decide to return. Second years usually return except for those who decide to transfer. These aare Blanco, Didawick, Godbout, Hanson, Hodges, Jaxel, McKay, O'Connor, Osinski, and Teel. The first years are Augustin, Becker, Beruvides, Buchanan, Ford, Gialluisi, Head, Menk, Moore, Oschell, and Perrotta.
Lastly, there are 14 high school seniors who have committed to Virginia. These are Trey Alford RHP, Caleb Bonemer SS, Will Broderick C, Luke Dickerson SS, Aiden Harris 3B, Chone James C, William Kirk LHP, Bryce Message RHP, James Nunnallee OF, Drew Prozny 2B, Jackson Sirois SS, Isaac Vanderwoude SS, Tomas Villanova LHP, and Michael Yeaager RHP. Of these Bonemer and Harris are likely to be selected in the MLB draft, and others could be drafted. If there are not numerous unexpected departures, Virginia should field another very competent team in 2025.

An outstanding day at the plate by O'Ferrall was not enough. He was 5 for 5 and scored 5 times while adding 2 RBI. Anderson was 3 forr 4 and scored twice, and Saucke was 2 for 5 with 4 RBI. They got 10 of Virginia's 13 hits. Virginia scored 3 times in the 1st inning but never scored more than 2 runs in any of the subsequent innings.
Virginia us seven different pitchers, and six had a minimum of around 9.0 ERA for the game as they combined for 13 earned runs on 25 hits allowed.

Interesting essay on Carla (and Bennett’s) efforts related to NIL.

Saw that Davis confirmed he's returning to UNC next year. There will still be one-and-dones but it's more confirmation that the one-and-done era is over. If you're a second round or low first round pick it's more lucrative to stay in college and rake in the NIL money...especially at a place like UNC. And if you're not at a place like that you can just transfer to one and wait another year to sign a league minimum contract and fight for minutes in G league games.

Three-star QB Bjorn Jurgensen talked to @Dylan Callaghan-Croley about his decision to commit to UVa and what made him feel so comfortable on his recent trip to Charlottesville.
