Virginia has the best problem in baseball

Coming into the 2025 season, Virginia baseball was looking to rely on a core of dominant returning hitters. Whether it be power hitters like sophomore outfielder Henry Ford and graduate catcher Jacob Ference or contact hitters like junior infielder Henry Godbout and sophomore infielder Eric Becker, the Cavalier lineup was deadly at each spot in the order. 

However, so far, much of the offensive game has been jump-started by players who were not in the everyday starting plans for Virginia. Some are freshmen, some are transfers and some are just guys waiting in the wings for their shot in the lineup. However, one thing is undoubtedly true —- this new production has given the Cavaliers the best and worst problem one can have. That problem, simply, is too much depth.
