Moore and Lombardi Ranked Among Top D1 Baseball Relief Pitchers
Feb 9, 2025 | Baseball
The Tulane baseball team recently saw redshirt junior pitcher Jacob Moore and junior pitcher/infielder Michael Lombardi ranked among the top 100 relief pitchers in the country by D1Baseball.
Moore, from Lacombe, LA, went 5-3 last season with a 3.00 ERA. He appeared in 26 games, struck out 45 in 42 innings pitched. He allowed just 34 hits and limited opponents to a .222 combined batting average and totaled a team-leading six saves. He was previously selected to the conference's Preseason All-AAC Team by the league's coaches.
Lombardi, from Pound Ridge, NY, was a two-way player for the program last season in hitting .277 with 39 hits, 25 runs scored, seven doubles, two home runs, 26 RBIs and an on-base percentage of .380 while playing in 50 games. On the mound, Lombardi went 4-3 with a 3.89 ERA, a save and 53 strikeouts in 41.1 innings pitched while limiting opponents to a .189 batting average against in earning Second Team All-AAC honors. He was previously named to the Perfect Game's Preseason All-AAC team.
Tulane's baseball team, in a vote of the league's coaches, was picked for third overall with 63 points in the AAC's Preseason Coaches' Poll. The team also saw pitcher Luc Fladda, Moore, infielder Gavin Schulz and senior outfielder Jackson Linn chosen as Preseason All-AAC. DI Baseball previously named Connor Rasmussen as one of the top 10 second baseman in the country, Schultz as one of the top 50 third basemen in the country, Linn as one of the top 100 outfielders in the country and Fladda as one of the top 150 starting pitchers in college 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.
