2024 College World Series storylines
The College World Series was first played in 1947, and it has been played in Omaha, Nebraska every year since 1950 (except when it was canceled in 2020 because of COVID-19). This year, every representative in the tournament is from either the ACC or SEC. That means rivalries and rematches will be at the forefront during the tournament.
Florida is the only unranked team that managed to advance to the 2024 College World Series. They have the lowest winning percentage of a tournament team in 74 years, but they are coming off of an appearance in the College World Series Final last year.
Tennessee and Virginia are the other two teams who are back in the College World Series this year after playing in the tournament last year. The former of those teams is much improved, as Tennessee is now the number one seed in college baseball.
Florida State will be playing in the College World Series for the 24th time, which is the third most in baseball. Despite that, the team is still looking for their first title.
Some of the top names in baseball will be center stage. Christian Moore (Tennessee), Jac Caglianone (Florida), Braden Montgomery (Texas A&M), Ryan Waldschmidt (Kentucky), Jamie Arnold (Florida State), Jacob Ference (Virginia), Vance Honeycutt (North Carolina), and Alec Makarewicz (NC State) are just a few of the elite players who will be under the spotlight.
We've already seen several big moments during the Super Regionals, including a couple of walk-off hits. The action will only pick up in the College World Series, though, so you won't want to miss any of these upcoming games.
