Schulz and Benbrook Named 2025 Baseball Team Captains
Feb 3, 2025 | Baseball
New Orleans - Tulane infielder/outfielder Gavin Schulz and pitcher Carter Benbrook have been selected as team captains by their teammates, the baseball program announced recently.
Schulz, a senior from Meraux, Louisiana, was elected team captain for the second consecutive season. In his third year at Tulane, he hit .303 with 48 runs, 71 hits, 13 doubles, two triples, 11 home runs, 51 RBIs, 121 total bases, a .517 slugging percentage with seven stolen bases and an on-base percentage of .378. He was also previously voted among the top 50 third basemen in the country by DI Baseball.
Benbrook, a graduate student from Sacramento, California is entering his second year at Tulane. Last season he went 3-1 in 25 games with one start on the mound. He totaled 39.1 innings pitched with 46 strikeouts.
Tulane's baseball team, in a vote of the league's coaches, was picked for third overall with 63 points in the Preseason Coaches' Poll. The team also saw pitcher Luc Fladda, relief pitcher Jacob Moore, Schulz and outfielder Jackson Linn chosen as Preseason All-AAC. Last week the team's second baseman, Connor Rasmussen, was named one of the top 10 second baseman in the country by DI baseball.
Tulane is fresh off a second straight NCAA Regional, 36 wins, and becoming the first program in AAC history to win back-to-back tournament championships (which includes 6 straight AAC tournament wins). The historic year over year turnaround was the first time since 1998-99 that the program has been back-to-back champions. Tulane has been to consecutive trips to the regionals for the first time since 2015-16. A win in the Corvallis Regional secured Tulane's first victory in a regional since 2016. Additionally, the program won nine weekend series, won the Pelican Cup, earned an 8-4 record against teams in Louisiana, had five all conference players with four more being selected in the June MLB draft. The four drafted players were good for third-most by a non-power conference school.
The team starts the 2025 season taking on Omaha in a home three-game series starting on Feb. 14 at 6:30 p.m. The schedule will feature thirty-five home games in Greer Field at Turchin Stadium while only going on the road for twenty-one games. Tulane is set to visit a total of six different states this season with games in California, Florida, Mississippi, Texas, North Carolina, and Tennessee. This schedule will also include 2024 NCAA Tournament participants Nicholls, Southern Miss, and East Carolina.
