The Southeastern 16 crew of Graham Doty, Jay Greeson and Chris Lee preview and predicts an outcome on the Auburn super regional, featuring Auburn and Coastal Carolina. Auburn used just seven arms--Sam Dutton, Christian Chatterton, Cam Tilly, Andreas Alvarez, Cade Fisher, Ryan Hetzler and Parker Carlson--to get through a regional sweep of Central Connecticut, Stetson and North Carolina State. Future MLB first-rounder Ike Irish and veteran Cooper McMurray lead a balanced Auburn lineup with elite freshman talents Chase Fralic, Chris Rembert and Bub Terrell that really came on as the season progressed. Coastal Carolina comes in with a 51-11 record that included a sweep of its regional. The Chanticleers have one of the country’s best pitching staffs (3.22 ERA) with Jacob Morrison, Cameron Flukey, Riley Eikoff, Luke Jones, Dominic Carbone, Matthew Potok, Hayden Johnson, Ryan Lunch, Darin Horn and company providing durability and depth. Potential first-round catcher Caden Bodine paces a Chanticleer lineup that gets on base throughout, with Blake Barthol (12 HR) and Sebastian Alexander (10) providing some power and Walker Mitchell (.449 OBP, 11 steals), Conway regional MVP Colby Thorndyke also big concerns for opponents.
