4 MLB prospects to watch during the 2025 Men's College World Series
4 MLB prospects The Montgomery Advertiser's Adam Cole and The Southwest Times Record's Jackson Fuller are watching during the 2025 Men's College World Series
Coastal Carolina baseball's Jacob Morrison brought his A-game against Oregon State at the College World Series.
The Sun Belt Pitcher of the Year in 2025 was electric outside of a solo home run he allowed in the bottom of the third inning, as he retired 16 hitters in a row from that point forward. The streak lasted into the eighth inning. He became only the third pitcher since 2011 to retire 16 or more batters in a College World Series game, according to the program.
REQUIRED READING: Coastal Carolina-Oregon State score: Chanticleers advance to College World Series semis
The 6-foot-8 ace for the No. 13 Chanticleers set the tone in their 6-2 win over the No. 8 Beavers on June 15, allowing one run on five hits with seven strikeouts across 7 2/3 innings. The redshirt sophomore dropped his season ERA from 2.15 to 2.08 with the performance.
The win improved Morrison's record to 12-0 on the year, as Coastal Carolina is undefeated in games where Morrison has earned a decision. His 2.15 ERA entering Sunday's game is the sixth-best mark in college baseball this season, and best among all pitchers still alive at the CWS.
Morrison has been outstanding for the Chanticleers in his three NCAA tournament starts, as he went six innings and allowed one run with six strikeouts against No. 4 Auburn in the Auburn Super Regional to reach Omaha, Nebraska. He allowed four runs on seven hits in five innings against East Carolina in the Conway Regional in his first postseason outing.
Coastal Carolina's ace will be available again if the Chanticleers reach the national championship series, and he has a chance to make even more of a name for himself at the sport's biggest stage, as his team is looking for its second national championship since 2016.
Here's a look at Morrison's stats this season, which rank among the best in college baseball:

Former Yankee Gary Sanchez torments old team in clutch Orioles moment
Access the Yankees beat like never before Join Post Sports+ for exciting subscriber-only features, including real-time texting with Greg Joyce about the inside buzz on the Yankees. Try it free For parts of six seasons, Gary Sánchez was a Yankees mainstay. Advertisement Friday night, he provided a flashback to his days in pinstripes. The former Yankee had one of the big hits of the evening, a two-run single that helped the Orioles win in The Bronx, 5-3, to continue the Bombers' struggles. With the bases loaded and two outs in the first inning, he ripped a 2-2 Max Fried sweeper into left field to drive in two runs. In the fifth, his single was part of a rally that helped the Orioles get even at three runs apiece. 'It feels good to come back here after spending so many years here,' Sánchez said through a translator. 'I know the stadium really well, and I feel really comfortable playing here. Baltimore Orioles catcher Gary Sánchez (99) hits a two-run RBI single during the first inning when the New York Yankees played the Baltimore Orioles on Friday, June 20, 2025 at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx, NY. Robert Sabo for NY Post 'It feels good because we got the victory; because we got the win; not because it was against them. It doesn't matter who the opponent is. It just feels good to get that hit there and get the win.' Advertisement Sánchez has bounced around since leaving the Yankees following the 2021 season. The Orioles are his sixth team, with previous stints on the Twins, Mets, Padres and Brewers. He had only flashed the power that he was known for as a Yankee since his departure. CHECK OUT THE LATEST MLB STANDINGS AND YANKEES STATS He wasn't having a great season so far this year, raising his slash line to .205/.294/.341 with a .635 OPS after Friday. At least that's when the veteran catcher made an impact against his old team. Baltimore Orioles pitcher Félix Bautista hugs Baltimore Orioles catcher Gary Sánchez after the final out of the ninth inning. Charles Wenzelberg / New York Post 'I would say it's pretty normal, every time I come back,' he said. 'I just like playing here. You see the ball pretty well and it's a really good stadium.' Advertisement When Sánchez walked to the plate for his first at-bat, there were boos. He didn't hear them. 'I was so focused on that at-bat,' said Sánchez, who hit 138 home runs as a Yankee with an .804 OPS. 'I'm trying to focus on what I need to do, that I didn't hear what they were doing or what they wanted to do.'

Trenni Casey will be running — a lot — for a cause close to her heart
She is running and raising funds for multiple sclerosis research in memory of her aunt Sandi , who was diagnosed with the disease at age 25. She died at age 37 in November 1995, when Casey was in high school. 'I was just 4 or 5 when she was diagnosed, and we didn't spend as much time with her as I wish I had,' said Casey. 'I didn't really get to know her, and that's part of why I wanted to do this. Like I feel we didn't do enough for her to bring her joy in her life. We were busy, we were kids, we were all over the place. Everyone keeps telling me you didn't know any better, but I just always have wanted to do something to give back to that community and to honor her.' Casey will run her portion of the relay in her home state of Wisconsin, beginning in Plattesville on July 1 and concluding in Milwaukee on July 6. She said her plan is to run — and sometimes walk — 30 or 31 miles the first four or five days. Advertisement 'So that would leave me with just 8 to 10 miles on the last day,'' said Casey, who has been training for six months. She's tapering her mileage now as the race gets closer, having run 55 miles last week. Advertisement Participants in the relay are required to raise a minimum of $10,000. Casey, ever the competitor, has long surpassed that threshold and is aiming much higher. Related : 'I originally wanted to raise $30,000 in honor of the 30th anniversary of when Aunt Sandi passed away,' she said, 'but then I asked, 'What's the most anyone has ever raised?' ' She was told the record was in the range of $56,000. 'So I thought about it, and I was like, I'm going to try to raise $67,000, because my aunt would be 67 years old now.' Casey's fund-raising page can be found at: Back to college for Bradley Jr. ESPN was thinking about Jackie Bradley Jr.'s future as a broadcaster before he had given it any thought himself. The former Red Sox center fielder and two-time College World Series national champion at South Carolina joined ESPN in April as a college baseball analyst. So broadcasting must have been a career path he had thought about before his playing days were over, yes? 'Not for a minute,' he said with a laugh during a recent conversation. 'ESPN actually first reached out to me about it two years ago, but I was still playing and my wife was pregnant — we have four kids now. They reached out a couple of times over the years, but the time was never right until now. I'm enjoying it.' Advertisement Bradley, who has not filed his retirement papers with Major League Baseball, confirmed that NESN also reached out to him about working some Sox games. 'I didn't close any doors or anything,' he said, 'but I wanted to focus on the college game and give that my undivided attention. I wanted to learn how to do this first rather than get thrown into something that I didn't feel I was ready for.' During ESPN's coverage of the College World Series, which culminates with the best-of-three final between Louisiana State and Coastal Carolina beginning Saturday night, Bradley has been in studio along with Mike Monaco (a familiar voice to Red Sox fans) and Ben McDonald . 'I'm really enjoying it,' said Bradley, the 2010 College World Series Most Outstanding Player. 'It's been fun to see how much goes into production, how intricate it is, and how hard everyone works. I'm just a couple of months into this, so I'm still at the point where I'm paying attention to everything and asking a lot of questions and just trying to build trust and get better at it.' NBA Finals viewership down The NBA Finals have been a thrill for true basketball junkies, but viewership numbers can't be thrilling the league. Official Nielsen data for the Pacers' series-tying Game 6 win over the Thunder Thursday was not available at this writing, but through the first five games, the series was averaging 9.18 million viewers on ABC. That's down 19 percent from the Celtics-Mavericks Finals last season, which averaged 11.3 million viewers in the full five-game series. Game 7s historically have a huge spike in viewership. This series is worthy of such an ending. Advertisement Chad Finn can be reached at
