Real Dudes of Week 11 [D1 Daily]

On this episode of the D1 Daily, Burkie and Roons run through “Real Dudes” standouts across week 11 of the 2026 college baseball season. The guys highlight Georgia Tech’s sweep of Wake Forest led by Jarren Advincula and Drew Burress, plus big weeks from DBU’s Jake Bennett and several mid-major hitters. They then shift their focus to Texas A&M’s Gavin Grahovac and his power, arm strength, and impact plays. They also discuss hitters who are on their way (or already have) a 20/20 season: Daniel Jackson, Dee Kennedy, Fairleigh Dickinson’s Hunter Ray, and Tague Davis. Finally, Aidan King’s continued success for Florida and Tennessee’s Tegan Kuhns delivering a pivotal eight-shutout-innings start against Alabama headline the pitching talk.00:00 Welcome00:56 Real Dudes - Honorable Mentions04:13 Real Dudes - Hitters12:25 Real Dudes - Pitchers21:31 Additional Weekend Takeaways23:10 Wrap UpFor athletes and sports programs of all levels, AstroTurf has managed the entirety of the synthetic turf manufacturing process for decades.
