Since then, the Raleigh-based Wolfpack has made 31 appearances in the NCAA Tournament, four appearances in the Super Regionals and two appearances in the College World Series. They have also made it to a 40-win per season plateau in 10 seasons. The Pack is led by Elliott Avent, who now has over 1,100 career wins. The NC State Athletic Hall of Fame was established to honor those who have made significant contributions to their sport and school. Only four Wolfpack baseball players have been inducted, including Mike Caldwell, Jack McDowall, Roman Gabriel and Dave Robertson.
