Former UNC pitcher Dalton Pence promoted to Double-A in Texas Rangers' organization

Tar Heel fans remember Dalton Pence as a lockdown multi-inning reliever. The Texas Rangers selected Pence in the 11th round of the 2024 MLB Draft, as their vision for him was not to have him come out of the pen, but to start games for them. So far, it's been working out really well for both sides, as Pence has taken that next step toward the big leagues. (Keeping It Heel)

Lucas: UNC Baseball vs. Georgia Tech ACC Tournament Rapid Reactions

Georgia Tech outslugged UNC, 13-6, to win the ACC baseball championship in Charlotte on Sunday. The overwhelming takeaway from this game: these are two of the best three or four teams in the country.

Georgia Tech's offense too much for UNC Baseball in ACC Tournament final

UNC Baseball faces hot Pitt team in ACC Tournament semifinals Saturday

No. 2 UNC Baseball faces a hot Pittsburgh team in the ACC tournament semifinals Saturday, but one with a very taxed pitching staff.

The Doctor Delivers: Carter French Providing Clutch Outfield Play

It is a truth universally acknowledged that Carter French is North Carolina’s resident good doctor. But how good is he? Well, he’s not technically a doctor yet, although he is a step closer, having taken his MCAT on one of the Tar Heels’ rare bye weeks. He just graduated from UNC, finishing his academic career in Chapel Hill. However, his playing days are not over. (Inside Carolina)

Michael Busch Is One of MLB’s Best Hitters Right Now

First and foremost, you should note Michael Busch is rocking a 19-game on-base streak dating to April 28. In those 85 plate appearances, Busch has reached base a staggering 41 times, including 19 hits, 20 walks, and two HBP. And all that with only 17 Ks and just one double-play. In the month of May, Busch has been the second-best hitter in baseball. (Bleacher Nation)
