UH baseball was picked to finish fourth in the American Athletic Conference preseason poll, determined by the votes of the conference’s eight head coaches.
The Cougars are coming off a 6-9 2020 season that was cut short due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but they return eight positional starters from last season while also having brought in a bunch of newcomers, a few of which are expected to play a big role for UH this season.
One of the returners, Ryan Hernandez, led the Cougars in all batting categories in 2020 with a .300 average, five home runs and 14 RBI’s.
Hernandez was named to the AAC’s 2021 Preseason All-Conference Team.
