Heres a look at the hopefuls for one last dogpile.Left BracketArkansasHow Theyll Win It All Baseball Americas National Player of the Year, Andrew Benintendi (.380/19/55/23-27 SB), goes off and carries the offense, and the Razorbacks stay in the winners bracket to space out long-relief appearances from Zach Jackson (5-0, 9 SV, 1.91).Why They Wont Arkansas falls into the losers bracket, not the place a team with a 4.02 ERA wants to be facing the likes of big-hitting teams Florida and Miami.Quick Fact Arkansas is 2-7 against Omaha foes Florida (1-1), Vanderbilt (0-3) and LSU (1-3). But the last time they faced Virginia in Omaha, the Razorbacks rallied for an extra-inning win.VirginiaHow Theyll Win It All Staying loose, as the Cavaliers have been for much of the past month. Despite not being as potent as last years Omaha team, Virginia still relies on pitching and defense, which bodes well in TD Ameritrade Park. It could also get a lift from the return of ace Nathan Kirby even a couple innings here or there could be a big factor.Why They Wont Their bats cant keep up with better hitting teams in Omaha, especially when Connor Jones isnt on the mound. Consider that after Jones shut out Georgia Tech in an ACC tourney play-in game, Virginia Tim Settle Jersey allowed 27 runs in its next three lo ses.Quick Fact Outfielder/Pitcher Kevin Doherty made 13 appearances for 15.1 innings as a pitcher his first two years; he asked his coaches to be considered for an outfield spot because of injuries and has become a starting outfielder while also earning valuable innings as a reliever.MiamiHow Theyll Win it All Do what they do better than any team in the nation get on base. The Hurricanes lead the country in on-base average (.422) and then leave it to the likes of David Thompson (87 RBI, tops in nation) and Zack Collins (70, 6th) to get them in. Miami hits up and down the order (George Iskenderian does a little of everything), and thats its ticket to a title.Why They Wont Miami is 36-5 at home and just 13-10 on the road or at neutral sites. And TD Ameritrade swallows some of the Canes deep flies. Miami also lost regular-season series to Virginia (road) and Florida (road).Quick Fact Sidearm reliever Sam Abrams was cut from the team in 2012. Abrams, who has a masters degree in marketing, pitched Miami out of a crucial jam in helping the Hurricanes evade VCU in the Super Regionals.FloridaHow Theyll Win It All Like Miami, hit, hit and hit. There arent many weak spots in a lineup led by the power of JJ Schwarz (18 HR, 71 RBI) and Harrison Bader (15 HR, 61 RBI). And Josh Tobias (.447 OBA) is tough to keep off base.Why They Wont The pitching-by-committee, which has worked all year, falls apart and a starter digs a deep hole. Outside of Logan Shore (101 IP), the Gators dont have a pitcher with more than 75 innings. But they have five who have thrown more than 50.Quick Fact Harrison Bader had three homers and 46 RBI in his first two years as a Gator before exploding for 15 and 61 this year.Right BracketLSUHow Theyll Win It All Blend an offense that has few Harrison Phillips Jersey holes with two top-tier starters in Alex Lange (10-0, 1.89) and Jared Poche(9-1, 2.91). And run the Tigers have stolen 126 bases and have four players with 20 or more, led by all-world shortstop Alex Bregmans 37.Why They Wont The offense hasnt hit its stride in the postseason. LSU beat UNC Wilmington 2-0 twice and didnt exactly light up Louisiana-Lafayette. TD Ameritrade is the wrong place to slump, especially with the power arms in this bracket.Quick Fact Despite being a national power, LSU has filled its roster with home-grown talent, as 17 of 33 players on the roster hail from Louisiana. Shortstop Alex Bregman, who is from New Mexico, played for former LSU player Jason Columbus.TCUHow Theyll Win it All One of the few teams that has enough pitching to work out of the losers bracket, the Frogs allow just 3.1 runs a game. Preston Morrison (11-3, 2.55) leads a rotation that also includes Super Regional star Mitchell Traver (9-2, 1.60). They'll try to hand a leadto closer Riley Ferrell (1-3, 14 SV, 2.83), who has struggled in the Buffalo Bills Hoodies Sweatshirts postseason.Why They Wont TCU has been pushed hard the past few weeks, losing twice in the Big 12 tourney before escaping both Regionals and Super Regionals. And the matchup against two of the SECs best doesnt leave much margin for error.Quick Fact Senior Preston Morrison went undrafted last year before going in the eighth round to the Cubs this week. Hes 36-12 in his career, and his ERA of 2.55 followed seasons of 1.32, 1.51 and 2.08.VanderbiltHow Theyll Win it All By riding one of college baseballs best arms in Carson Fulmer (13-2, 1.82) and best players in Dansby Swanson (.350/15/62), D1Baseball.coms National Player of the Year, and relying on a deep and talented team that is every bit as good as last years national champions. This years team hits .295 and has a 2.96 ERA; last year, those numberswere.278 and 2.90.Why They Wont Vandys hitters strike out more often than any other team in Omaha (558 on year, 8.5 per game), and that could be concerning facing the big arms in this bracket. In fact, the Commodores have struck out 77 more times than its closest Omaha foe (Fullerton) and 259 times more than Virginia, the toughest team to strike out in Omaha.Quick Fact Vandy pitchers, led by Fulmers 152 strikeouts, lead the nation in strikeouts per nine innings at 9.7. Fulmer was the fourth pitcher in SEC history to win the pitching triple crown (leading league in wins, ERA and strikeouts).Cal State FullertonHow Theyll Win it All The Titans channel some of Tyler Bass Jersey the 2004 team, which struggled early but put it together to win a title. Fullerton was 22
