NCAA Baseball Super Regionals 2012: Predictions for Stanford vs. Florida State
Published by Jesse Reed on June 9, 2012
The Stanford Cardinal and Florida State Seminoles will battle one another in the Tallahassee Super Regionals for the chance to move on to the next step in the 2012 College World Series.
Both teams have played at a high level all year long thanks to some MLB-level talent on their rosters, and the competition will be fierce.
Three players from these two schools were taken before the second round of the 2012 MLB draft, and there are plenty of other talented players that have helped them combine for a record of 87-31.
Here are three bold predictions for the series between Florida State and Stanford.

Appel was selected by the Pittsburgh Pirates with the eighth pick in this year's MLB draft. He could have easily been the No. 1 overall selection, and many mock drafts had him being taken there by the Houston Astros. He is a legitimate ace who can shut down opposing lineups on any given day.
Appel has gone 10-1 so far this season with an ERA of 2.27, according to Bleacher Report - College Baseball
