BEVERLY, Mass. — The Endicott baseball team has been ranked No. 12 overall in the 2023 D3baseball.com Preseason Poll.
Last week, the Gulls were also ranked No. 10 overall in the Collegiate Baseball Newspaper Preseason Poll, marking the highest national ranking in program history.
Endicott finished the 2022 season ranked No. 12 overall in both the final Collegiate Baseball Newspaper/American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA) and D3baseball.com polls, respectively.
The Gulls' banner year was highlighted by a program-record 40 wins (40-10 overall | 14-2 CCC), its first-ever trip to the NCAA Super Regionals, and its eighth conference championship in program history.
Endicott's 2022 resume also featured the following achievements:
- Chosen as the New England Intercollegiate Baseball Association (NEIBA) Team of the Year
- 4 individual Major Awards (CCC Player, Coach, & Scholar-Athlete of the Year | NEIBA Coach of the Year)
- 1 All-America honor
- 14 All-Region selections
- 12 Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) All-Conference awards
- 24 CCC Academic All-Conference honorees (the most of any CCC baseball program)
- 1 College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) Academic All-District® First Team selection
- 1 NEIBA All-Star Game representative
Prior to the 2022 year-end poll, Endicott's previous program-best national ranking was No. 16 overall, which was awarded to the Gulls by the CBN/ABCA on May 3, 2022.
Last year's No. 12 ranking also shattered Endicott's program record in the year-end rankings for both polls.
The previous records were No. 19 (D3baseball.com, prior organizational high) and No. 24 (CBN/ABCA) overall, both occurring at the end of the 2013 season.
