Taking a look at which teams heading to Omaha have the best hitters and pitchers.
Top Five Hitters
1. 3B Colin Moran, North Carolina: Moran was one of the top picks in the MLB draft for a good reason. Moran has improved his defensive skills, but his offensive abilities are what sets him apart from a lot of guys. Moran has the ability to go opposite field with power, and is an extremely pure overall hitter. He enters the CWS hitting .345 with 13 homers and 87 RBIs. He also has 11 doubles, two triples, and has walked 61 times as opposed to striking out on 22 occasions.
2. OF Hunter Renfroe, Mississippi State: As much as his bat, it's what he can do once on base that terrifies opposing teams the most. Renfroe has a great frame and bat, along with elite speed. Renfroe enters the CWS hitting .362 with 15 doubles, three triples, 15 homers and 61 RBIs. He also has struck out 39 times as opposed to 34 walks. Renfroe has nine stolen bases and a .448 OBP.

North Carolina head coach Mike Fox isn't surprised by much, but he let out a light chuckle when asked about the expectations surrounding his Tar Heels for the 2013 college baseball season. Fox doesn't necessarily disagree with his team's top billing in the Perfect Game Top 25, among other rankings, but he doesn't view this club, at least right now, quite as flawless as some of the great UNC teams over the past 10 seasons.
