Pac-12 baseball standings for April 10

The Pac-12 baseball season is hitting the midpoint. The top of the conference looks strong once again. All three of the top teams — Stanford, Arizona State, and USC — are separated by just one game.

On the other hand, the bottom of the conference has four teams with five or fewer wins and five teams below .500 in conference play. With some programs playing nonconference opponents this past week, there wasn’t a ton of movement in the standings from a week ago.

Here is a look at the updated Pac-12 baseball standings as the second week of April comes to an end.

The Cardinal are on top of the standings once again, although they shouldn’t get too comfortable.

ARIZONA STATE SUN DEVILS (10-2)

Arizona State baseball is the No. 2 seed at an NCAA regional in Austin, Texas, opening against No. 3 seed Fairfield on Friday. Coach Tracy Smith is in his seventh season and fourth regional with the Sun Devils.
