Washington Nationals legend Ryan Zimmerman, a three-year starting third baseman for the Cavaliers and World Series-winning MLB starter, recently spoke at Final Exercises. Utility player Chris Taylor and relief pitcher-turned-pitching advisor Sean Doolittle both played critical roles in bringing World Series titles to Los Angeles in 2020 and Washington, D.C. in 2019, respectively.

When I was a first-year student, I felt a radiating positivity that pushed me out of my comfort zone. I would take off — quite literally at times — forging new friendships by day and launching off the Rotunda steps behind a mass of bare bodies at night. Coming to college forced me out of my shy, introverted shell. However, as I enter my fourth and final year at the University, I’m finding myself coming back to a sense of quietness and I’m walking around Grounds more slowly than before.

No. 12 seed Virginia baseball saw its season come to an end Sunday afternoon at Charles Schwab Field in Omaha, Neb. in a 7-3 loss to No. 8 seed Florida State. The Cavaliers (46-17, 18-12 ACC) faced elimination from the College World Series after a 3-2 walkoff loss to No. 4 seed North Carolina placed them in the loser’s bracket of their group Friday. In a must-win situation, Virginia saw similar results to its exit from the ACC Tournament, also at the hands of the Seminoles (48-16, 17-12 ACC), in which it was overpowered on both sides of the ball. With the loss, the Cavaliers have now been swept out of two consecutive College World Series and have won just one game in their last three trips to Omaha since 2021.

Virginia’s season now hangs in the balance after a 3-2 walkoff loss at the hands of North Carolina. One more loss in bracket play would lead to an early Omaha exit for the second year in a row. A lot of uncertainty hangs in the air as lineup mainstays in sophomore outfielder Harrison Didawick and graduate outfielder Bobby Whalen both went 0-4 in the opener — and O’Connor may have to keep them out of today’s lineup entirely.

Despite the familiar territory, in comments to the media Tuesday afternoon, he discussed his excitement at the opportunity while emphasizing that Omaha is just a destination, not the goal.

I have always loved baseball. From swinging a tee ball bat and playing Little League to wearing the number 17 in high school, I have found a home in baseball throughout my life. Growing up, I followed players like Bryce Harper and Ryan Zimmerman, and I threw a ball around with my friends and brothers whenever I could. All in all, I likely burned through more than a decade’s worth of baseball gear.
