Players covered: Michael Toglia (UCLA), Ryan Garcia (UCLA), Bryant Packard (East Carolina), Alec Burleson (East Carolina), Spencer Brickhouse (East Carolina), Jake Agnos (East Carolina), Trey Benton (East Carolina), Gavin Williams (East Carolina).

Michael Toglia, UCLA
Toglia, who opened the year as a Third Team Preseason All-American, opened this year rather slow but broke out in a big way against a ranked East Carolina team. He was directly responsible for two of the three wins against the Pirates, hitting a game-tying three-run home run and the go-ahead two-run double in game one and then hit a walkoff three-run shot in game two. That led to him being named the Week 9 Player of the Week.

When he’s swinging the bat as well as he can you see shades of the Mark Teixeira comp as a plus defender at first base with power hitting abilities from both sides of the plate. He’s a tall, angular athlete that gets great extension and the ability to drive the ball to all parts of the ballpark. He has played some corner outfield during his time at UCLA but could be a Gold Glove-caliber first baseman as a professional. A strong finish could lead to him being a day one selection in the 2019 MLB Draft as a patient, power-hitting, switch-hitting first baseman with a knack for making consistent, hard contact.

DII/DIII/NAIA Rankings Update: April 24
It’s far better to be on a hot streak at the end of the season rather than the beginning of the year. As a result the three teams spotlighted with the latest rankings are in a perfect position for a deep postseason run.

College Player, Pitcher of the Week
Ryan Gallagher of UC Santa Barbara threw a complete game shutout and leads the Gauchos staff into the Top-25 while Tennessee's Christian Moore went 9-for-15 with 4 home runs and 9 RBI.

College Top 25: April 22
Well, here we go folks, we have one month left in the regular season and things continue to get more unpredictable on the national landscape. We are seeing some new clubs making statements out west and non-Power 5s on the east coast continuing to jockey for post-season host consideration.

Week 10 Preview Pick 'Em
Things are close as we head into week 10 and with all but one series having a different prediction, this week could really open things up between Cozy and Vin.
