With the season just around the corner, we'll take a look at the UNCW baseball program and the players who make up the roster.

Corey Dick battled through a knee injury last season and still led the Seahawks with a .315 batting average and six home runs. Corey enters the 2015 season fully recovered and looking to lead the Seahawks back to the NCAA tournament, a destination he reached twice in his first two seasons with the program.

The Seahawks open the 2015 season with Richmond on Feb. 13, as part of the Buffalo Wild Wings Battle at the Beach Classic.
