The Golden Gophers are the highest-rated Big Ten team, ahead of Illinois (36th) and Ohio State (43rd). Baseball America also selected senior Robb Quinlan as its preseason Big Ten player of the year and junior left-hander Ben Birk as its preseason Big Ten pitcher of the year. Quinlan set single-season school records with 24 home runs, 97 hits, 87 runs scored and 188 total bases in 1998 en route to earning first-team All-Big Ten and second-team All-America honors.
