The fall session is underway on the college diamond. All eyes are on Cary, N.C., where the Tar Heels held their “Fall World Series.” Two prized freshman arms will take the mound for the Heels this season: Matt Harvey and Patrick Johnson, with Harvey considered the best prospect in the nation. After losing to Oregon State at the College World Series, this duo might be just what North Carolina needs to get over the top.

The Heels might have to cross the desert first. Arizona State figures to be in the title mix this year, and Brett Wallace is a big reason why. The All-American first baseman hit .404 last year (.484 OBP) with 16 home runs in 63 games. Wallace and outfielder Ike Davis (.407 OBP, eight NR) will be in the spotlight in February when the Sun Devils host Oregon State, Vanderbilt and Miami University at the ASU Tournament. Bettors will certainly be watching.
