With the NAIA National preseason baseball poll up for release next week, the KCAC released their preseason poll as voted on by member coaches on Wednesday afternoon.

Sterling College, third place 2009 regular season finisher and conference tournament runner-up received all but one of the first place votes taking the top spot, with the ’09 regular season runner-up Saint Mary tabbed the second favorite with one first place vote.

 Kansas Wesleyan University, two-time champion (’08-’09) and 2009 National Opening Round representative, dropped in the 2010 expectation after losing key seniors as well as going through a coaching change. 

The NAIA National poll will be released November 17th.
