Texas Tech Red Raiders
What does 1 returning outfielder, 0 returning pitchers with a sub 4 era and losing more players than you are keeping spell? Trouble. That is what the Red Raiders are facing this year. The Raider faithful are hopeful to keep their late season surge going, they were the only team to beat Nebraska in the post season before ASU in the CWS, but that is way to much to overcome.
