Virginia Baseball Roster 2023: Complete Depth Chart, Positions, Coaching Staff, and Players

Despite crashing out of the Men’s College World Series (MCWS), Virginia had a thrilling 2023 college baseball season. The Cavaliers made their sixth trip to Omaha in program history and the second time in three years after crushing Duke Blue Devils 12-2 to bag the Charlottesville Super Regional title.

UVA faced Florida Gators, Oral Roberts Golden Eagles, and TCU Horned Frogs in its series bracket. Unfortunately, they suffered a 6-5 defeat to the No. 2 seed Gators before losing 4-3 to the Horned Frogs. The two single-run losses closed out Virginia's 2023 season at Omaha.
