In the Mountaineers' oldest and most-played rivalry, WVU is 107-88 all-time in the regular season against Pitt. West Virginia has won four in a row in the series and nine of the last 12, after a 12-1 win in the lone matchup last season.
WVU's 2018 fall roster features 22 players from last year's team and 15 newcomers. Eight returners were All-Big 12 Team honorees in 2018, including senior right fielder Darius Hill, who was named to the ABCA East All-Region First Team and the All-Big 12 Second Team.
The 15 newcomers were part of the highest-ranked recruiting class in program history, which was rated No. 26 by Perfect Game.
The Mountaineers are coming off a 29-27 season in 2018, and they advanced to the Big 12 Championship semifinals for the third consecutive year. West Virginia earned an All-America accolade for the fourth consecutive season, while four Mountaineers were selected in the 2018 MLB Draft.
