With the new season quickly approaching, Pack the Bases projects the NC State baseball team depth chart.
We’re a month and a half into the new calendar year, and that means it’s almost time for baseball season once again. NC State wants to get the taste of June’s loss to Auburn out of its mouth quickly, and the Wolfpack will have the chance to do just that next Friday in the season opener against Bucknell.
State’s had many new additions as well as crucial losses from a year ago, so here’s how the Pack should line up in 2019.
