2025 Baseball Season

Can be lucky or good (or both), but at 18-2, regardless of level of competition, impressive. Much more earned than lucky with this team. Keep driving!

So refreshing to see Spider baseball revived after a too long sleep.
 
Definitely need to make hay while we can. We’ve got all bottom-half teams in the preseason poll first, and then the back half of the schedule is loaded.

The Spiders moved up to 36 in the RPI after this morning's win and are now up to 32.
We’ve now fallen back to 39…one spot ahead of the 7–11 Bona team we just beat the snot out of. 🤷

We’re clearly helping the 50% of their rating that comes from opponents’ winning percentage.
 
Only 25% of our RPI is from our record, and there were a ton of other games today affecting the other 75% of our rating.

(We've slipped another 2 spots to 41 in the past half hour.)
 
The Spiders have 5 points in this week's Coaches Poll! That puts us at 40th in the nation according to this poll, which directionally checks out with some of the computer metrics and other polls like the Mid-Major poll shared earlier. I don't think many people actually use this poll as far as national recognition goes, but still cool to see. I should also note that Mik Aoki is a voter this year, but I have no idea what his individual poll looks like.
 
In case anyone was curious, did some digging and turns out Bernstein was injured during the March 9th Lafayette game on a head-first slide into second. The play happens at the 107:30 in the below video. Nothing terrible-looking in real time, but you can see him kinda holding his left arm right before it cuts to commercial. He gets taken out right away, and hasn't played since.

Assuming it's a hand/wrist/arm injury based on the play. Hopefuly something he can come back from soon.
