UCLA’s baseball squad has etched a historic chapter into its record books, finishing the regular season with 48 victories, the most ever for the program.
The Bruins swept every weekend series, dropping at least two of three games in each, and compiled a 28‑2 mark in Big Ten play, a five‑game cushion over Nebraska.
At the heart of the surge is junior right‑hander Logan Reddemann, who closed the schedule unbeaten at 8‑0 with a 2.87 ERA and 84 strikeouts, while sophomore Wylan Moss posted a 5‑1 record and a 2.38 ERA that ranked second in the conference.
Roch Cholowsky, the consensus top prospect for the upcoming MLB draft, paced the offense with 21 home runs and a .330 batting average, drawing comparisons to Derek Jeter for his leadership and clutch performances.
Junior sluggers Will Gasparino and Mulivai Levu also featured in the top ten for home runs while maintaining batting averages above .300, adding depth to a lineup that consistently threatens opposing pitchers.
Tournament outlook
The team enters the Big Ten Tournament as the top seed, enjoying a five‑day rest before its first game on May 22, while the rest of the league begins play on May 19.
Despite the five‑game lead, UCLA acknowledges the heightened target on its back, knowing that every opponent will be eager to dethrone the number one ranking.
