Chris Lee and Alfred Ezman preview the Nashville Regional, where host Vanderbilt was the country's overall No. 1 seed. Topics include: The host Commodores may have the deepest pitching staff in the country. It's headlined by lefty JD Thompson, righties Cody Bowker and Connor Fennell and a big-time, back-end arm in right-hander Sawyer Hawks. The Commodores are one of the country's best defensive teams, and talented hitters RJ Austin, Brodie Johnston, Braden Holcomb, Rustan Rigdon and Riley Nelson came on late as Vanderbilt came out of nowhere to get the tournament's top seed. Perennial rival Louisville could push the Commodores. Coach Dan McDonnell's pitching staff has struggled at times, but Patrick Forbes and Tucker Biven are talented and could help Louisville push anyone in the regional. Center fielder Lucas Moore (.470 OBP, 43 steals) is a sparkplug at the top of the lineup and the Cardinals have power from Eddie King Jr. (14 HR), Tague Davis (18) and Zion Rose (11). East Tennessee State travels west to face Vanderbilt for the first time this year; the Buccaneers knocked off Tennessee for the Vols' first loss this year and have the talent to do damage. ETSU mashed 116 home runs, with Cooper Torres (23), Cody Miller (16), Jamie Palmese (16) and Grant Gallagher (20) all having big years. The Buccaneers also have some really good arms in Michael Harpster and Brady Frederick and certainly have the talent to win games in Nashville. Wright State bashed 20 home runs, getting 23 from Boston Smith, 20 from JP Peltier and 13 from Cam GIlkerson. The Raiders must get quality pitching from Cam Allen, Garrett Peters and Jarrett Heilman in the regional if they're to advance.

Matt Baiamonte talks with Riley Nelson about Brian Santiago and the upcoming football season.

The Southeastern 16 crew discusses Saturday baseball action in the Southeastern Conference. Topics include: Texas completes its sweep of Auburn behind two home runs and eight RBIs from Kimble Schuessler, while Jason Flores and Ruger Riojas shine on the hill and Adrian Rodriguez adds a home run. Vanderbilt's Connor Fennell starred, striking out 11 in 5 2/3 innings, while Riley Nelson homered in the Commodores' 5-2 win over Georgia that completed a sweep. Ole Miss stormed back with a 12-2 win at South Carolina to salvage the series. Mason Nichols and Will McCausland got it done on the hill while Mitchell Sanford bashed two home runs for the Rebels. Kentucky vs. Tennessee. Alabama vs. LSU. Florida vs. Mississippi State.
