K-State head baseball coach Pete Hughes along with returners David Bishop, Nick English, Kyan Lodice and Ty Ruhl met with members of the media Monday afternoon at Tointon Family Stadium in preparation of 2025 season.
With 14 returning letterwinners from the 2024 NCAA Fayetteville Regional Championship roster, K-State will officially begin its 2025 campaign on Friday, February 14 in Conway, S.C., at Baseball at the Beach hosted by Coastal Carolina. The Wildcats will open the four-day event against Washington at Springs Brooks Stadium before facing CCU (Feb. 15 and 17) and Saint Joseph’s (Feb. 16).
The 2025 slate features six programs ranked in the preseason Top 25 national poll by D1Baseball, that includes No. 3 LSU, No. 5 Arkansas, No. 6 North Carolina, No. 17 Oklahoma State, No. 23 TCU and No. 24 Nebraska. K-State will face eight teams that reached last season’s regional round of the NCAA Tournament, while playing a total of 10 opponents (20 games) finished with an RPI of 45 or higher.
K-State capped a historical 2024 season with the program’s first NCAA Tournament appearance since 2013. The Cats captured the second regional title in school history with a sweep of the Fayetteville Regional, that included a 7-6 triumph over regional host Arkansas.
