WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. - For the first time in program history, the Demon Deacons will open the season at No. 1 in Perfect Game's preseason top 25.

Wake Forest opened the 2023 season at No. 5 by the publication a year ago before embarking on the winningest season in program history as the Deacs went 54-12.
