North Carolina collected 96 points, followed by Virginia (83), Duke (62), Miami (60), Georgia Tech (46), Virginia Tech (27) and Pitt (18).• Carolina has been picked to win the Coastal seven times since the poll went to the divisional system in 2007. On five of the previous six occasions (2007, 2009, 2012, 2013 and 2017), the Tar Heels did in fact win the division crown.
CRISWELL OUT OF THE PEN• Cooper Criswell has been the go-to guy out the bullpen early this year, appearing in a team high five of the Tar Heels’ first eight games. • He currently boasts a 5.79 ERA through 4.2 innings pitched.
LOOKING FOR CONSISTENCY• Carolina has used seven different starting lineups through as many games this year. • The DH spot has seen four different players: Brandon Martorano (twice), Clemente Inclan, Ashton McGee and Angel Zarate• First, second and third bases are the only positions that have had the same starter every game with Michael Busch at first, Zack Gahagan at second and Kyle Datres at third.
BRILLIANT BAUM• Sophomore Tyler Baum’s first start of the season resulted in the team’s first win of the year, boosting his UNC career record to 8-0. • The right-hander fanned 10 USF batters, a new career-high. He allowed just four hits and two earned runs in the outing.
BERGNER’S CLUTCH DEBUT• Sophomore Austin Bergner made his first appearance of the year out of the bullpen on Sunday and didn’t disappoint. He tossed three perfect innings, striking out five and picking up the win.• The right-hander’s five strikeouts matched a career-high (NC State 4/16/17). • Bergner has now allowed just five hits over his last 17.2 innings dating back to last season.
BASEBALL AMERICA RANKS FORBES AMONG BEST ASSITANT COACHES• The Tar Heels will enter the 2018 season with Baseball America’s fourth-ranked assistant coach in the country, Scott Forbes. The publication, which surveyed over 75 Division I head coaches, announced the list in December. The previous edition of the rankings in 2012 ranked Forbes fifth in the country.• The team’s associate head coach is entering his 13th season with the Heels.• Forbes played for head coach Mike Fox during his collegiate career at NC Wesleyan from 1995-1997. His first coaching position came as an assistant at Wesleyan in 1998, followed by a four-year stint at North Carolina as an assistant from 1999-2002. He spent the next three years of his coaching career as an assistant at Winthrop before returning back to Chapel Hill in 2006.
SOPHOMORE PITCHERS RECEIVE PRESEASON ALL-AMERICA HONORS Starting pitcher Gianluca Dalatri and reliever Josh Hiatt will lead the way for a stacked Tar Heel pitching staff. Hiatt received first-team honors from NCBWA both pitchers received third-team preseason all-America honors from D1Baseball. Dalatri is returning for his sophomore season following a strong freshman year as the Satur-day starter. He appeared in 15 games going 7-3 with 3.34 ERA and 85 strikeouts in a team-high 97 innings of work. Dalatri has experience as an all-America player, as he earned the nod as a Consensus Freshman first-team all-American from Baseball America, Collegiate Baseball,

D1Baseball and Perfect Game last season. Hiatt is looking to follow up his redshirt-freshman season in which he earned first-team All-America honors from Baseball America and the NCBWA. He was to the preseason all-America first team by NCBWA and third-team by D1Baseball. Hiatt worked out of the bullpen as the primary closer recording 13 saves and posting a 1.9 ERA and 64 strikeouts in just 52 innings of work.
OPPORTUNITIES APLENTY TO WATCH THE TAR HEELS• North Carolina currently features a strong broadcast schedule over the 2018 season with 47 games scheduled to be aired. ACC Network Extra will stream 44 of the contests, beginning with the team’s first two home games against UNCW (2/20) and St. John’s (2/21).• In addition to the ACC Network Extra offering, the Tar Heels will play across ESPN televised networks three times including on April 3 against South Carolina in Charlotte (SEC Network).

PITCHING DEPTH KEY FOR 2018 • Despite the loss of J.B. Bukauskas to the MLB Draft, North Carolina boasts plenty of experience on the mound this season with sophomores Gianluca Dalatri and Tyler Baum leading the way.• Dalatri looks to be a major contributor in 2018 for the Heels following his strong freshman season. The right-hander went 7-3, posting a 3.34 ERA and 85 strikeouts over 97 innings of work. Baum also looks to play a major role in his sophomore campaign after compiling a 7-0 record and a 2.57 ERA over 63 freshman innings.• The Tar Heels return the majority of the leadership out of the bullpen, including All-American closer Josh Hiatt. The sophomore was dominant in his first year with the Heels, carving out the closing role and posting a 1.90 ERA in 52 innings. He totaled 64 strikeouts and 13 saves while allowing just 31 hits on the year. He’ll be joined by plenty of veteran leadership including Rodney Hutchison Jr., who worked in 57.2 innings for the Heels last season, and Hansen Butler, a right-hander returning after missing 2017 due to injury.
HIATT LOOKING TO FOLLOW UP STELLAR FRESHMAN SEASON Josh Hiatt will look to continue anchoring the Tar Heel bullpen after a freshman season in which he proved himself as one of the top late-inning relievers in the country. He earned first-team all-America honors from D1Baseball and NCBWA along with being a consensus freshman first-team all-America. Hiatt was named to the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association (NCBWA) pre-season All-America first team heading into the 2018 season. He was also named to the preseason D1Baseball All-America third team along with teammate Gianluca Dalatri. Hiatt appeared 32 times and posted a 1.90 ERA with 64 strikeouts in 52 innings of work last season. Hiatt 13 saves on the season are good for fifth most in a single season in Carolina history. Hiatt continued his excellence on the mound in the Cape Cod League with the Orleans Firebirds. Hiatt posted a 2.67 ERA and eight saves in 27 innings with the Firebirds. He also held opponents to a league-best .138 batting average.
DALATRI NAMED TO GOLDEN SPIKES AWARD PRESEASON WATCH LISTTar Heels starter Gianluca Dalatri was one of 55 players (nine from the ACC) named to USA Baseball’s Golden Spikes Award watch list prior to the season. The list showcases top amateur players across high school and collegiate baseball, leading to one winner at the end of the season. Dalatri pitched 97 innings for the Heels in 2017 with a 7-3 record and a 3.34 ERA, striking out 85 batters and walking just 19. The sophomore had a standout freshman campaign in the North Carolina rotation, named a freshman All-American by multiple publications and earning a spot on the All-ACC third-team. Previous winners of the Golden Spikes award include MLB all-stars Bryce Harper and Kris Bryant.
