What's working for the Diamond Heels this season? Head coach Scott Forbes hit a home run with UNC's transfer portal additions, highlighted by outfielder Owen Hull (George Mason) providing arguably the greatest impact (team-leading .389 batting average), while bullpen arms are virtually untouchable.
Jason DeCaro is North Carolina's superstar ace, carrying a 7-2 win-loss record, 2.17 earned run average and 50 strikeouts. Freshman Caden Glauber is UNC's top bullpen arm, carrying a 6-0 record, 2.13 ERA, three saves and a team-high 61 strikeouts.
The Diamond Heels' three best hitters are all offseason transfers: Hull (team-high 55 runs batted in), Jake Schaffner (.344 batting average) and Macon Winslow (.303).
North Carolina has plenty new position players, but every finds a way to contribute. Forbes is, once again, doing a phenomenal job leading an ACC powerhouse.
