NC State baseball had five players earn All-ACC status after the Wolfpack’s regular season campaign concluded, the league announced Monday afternoon. Junior catcherJacob Cozart was named a first-team selection, while graduate third baseman Alec Makarewicz earned second-team honors, and graduate right-handed pitcher Sam Highfill and graduate first baseman Garrett Pennington were picked to the third team. In addition to that quartet’s honors, freshman reliever Jacob Dudan was named to the ACC’s All-Freshman Team. Cozart earned a first-team selection after he was second on the Wolfpack with 16 ho...

It has seemed like a roller coaster that never ends for No. 12 NC State baseball. Senior righty Matt Willadsen went down with a torn UCL on the first day of practice. The Wolfpack had two more pitchers miss time with illness, notably graduate righty Logan Whitaker’s more than a month off. And sophomore reliever Shane Van Dam went down with a torn UCL at Florida State at the beginning of the month. That’s just what NC State’s pitching staff has withstood this spring, not including the illnesses and injuries that ravaged the position players at points this season as well — sophomore outfielderJo...

After NC State took down then-No.8 Wake Forest in a series sweep to close the regular season, the Wolfpack surged through the national rankings heading into the ACC Tournament. The Pack (32-19, 17-12 ACC) is currently up two spots to No. 7 in Baseball America’s weekly rankings, while it moved past five programs to get to No. 12 in D1Baseball’s poll. NC State also moved up six spots to No. 14 in the most recent RPI rankings. NC State is the fourth-highest ranked ACC team in D1Baseball’s poll, though its the third-seeded team for the conference tournament this week at Truist Field in Charlotte. ...

After it swept Wake Forest in the final regular season series, NC State clinched the No. 3 seed in the ACC Tournament set for this week at Trusit Field in Charlotte. The Wolfpack (32-19, 18-11 ACC) drew Pool C in the event, joined by No. 6 seed Duke and No. 10 seed Virginia Tech. Each team will play the other two teams in the pool, with the best record advancing to the league semifinals Saturday afternoon. Now, NC State knows when it will kick off its postseason slate. The Pack will square off with Virginia Tech on Wednesday night at 7 p.m., while it will play Duke on Thursday night at the sam...

In the early stages of No. 17 NC State’s series finale with No. 8 Wake Forest, it seemed like the Wolfpack’s Sunday struggles had arrived on a Saturday. The red and white entered the final game of the regular season 3-5 in the third game of an ACC series this season, and it appeared that statistic was going to ring true again. NC State trailed 5-1 after the first four innings, including an uncharacteristic error by right fielder Noah Soles. Graduate righty Logan Whitaker battled, but the Demon Deacons were seeing a bigger baseball than the Pack was against Josh Hartle. Then, well, the Wolfpack...

It took some time for NC State freshman left-handed pitcher Cooper Consiglio to get completely comfortable with the college game. He appeared to feel out the college game early in the season. It was not all smooth sailing, including eight runs allowed in 2.1 innings of relief against UNC-Greensboro in mid-March. The Palm Harbor, Fla., native did not know what to expect early in his Wolfpack career, but he learned as he went. Soon after, Consiglio corrected what went wrong in his outings earlier this year, and it paid dividends. The more experience Consilgio compiled, the more effective he beca...

Earlier this year, NC State freshman catcher Alex Sosa received a text from some of his baseball friends about the Wolfpack’s success against ranked teams this year. “They’re like, ‘Dude, if they’re ranked, you go after them?’” Sosa recalled. He didn’t think so, per say, rather they play every team hard. But it definitely looks as if ranked teams provide a new challenge for NC State — one it has risen to the occasion all season. The Wolfpack owns four ranked ACC series victories this spring, and it set the tone in the regular season finale in a loud way. No. 17 NC State used a seven-run eighth...

No. 17 NC State is surging towards hosting an NCAA Tournament regional, but for now, the Wolfpack is on the outside looking in. The red and white checked in as a high-ranking No. 2 seed in both Baseball America and D1Baseball’s bracket projections this week. Baseball America slotted the Wolfpack as a second-seed in the Terre Haute Regional, hosted by No. 12 national seed Indiana State. The Pack was projected to be joined by Cincinnati and Bowling Green in the regional. That pod would be set to face off with the winner of the Fayetteville Regional, hosted by No. 5 national seed Arkansas. While ...

NC State’s coaching staff appears to be complete. The Wolfpack is set to hire UMass assistant coach Brett Nelson, CBS Sports’ Jon Rothstein reported Wednesday night. Nelson brings a vast array of experience to the Wolfpack coaching staff, coaching at both mid-majors and at the Power Conference level. Nelson spent the past year with the Minutemen, where he assisted in guiding the team to a 20-11 (11-7 Atlantic 10). Before he made the trek to Amherst, Mass., Nelson was the head coach at Holy Cross for four seasons. During his time at the helm of the Crusaders, Nelson built the program from three...

During the early part of the season, NC State sophomore closer Derrick Smith was searching for consistency. He didn’t allow an earned run through his first three appearances — 1.2 innings in total — until a rocky five-run inning against Boston College in mid-March. Smith was in a new role for the first time with the Wolfpack: he was pitching every week. As he was getting comfortable in his new spot in the Pack’s bullpen, Smith did not have full control of his slider. That, in turn, made him a one-pitch arm and the Eagles smashed a pair of homers in that lone inning. But then something changed....
