Kansas State University has released its 2027 Big 12 Conference baseball schedule, a 15‑game slate that blends home‑field advantage at Tointon Family Stadium with a rigorous road circuit.
A Challenging Conference Roadmap
The Wildcats open the conference season with a three‑game series at home against Oklahoma State from March 19‑21, followed by a showdown with BYU from March 25‑27. Additional league battles include trips to face UCF, Cincinnati and Baylor, while the team will also host Utah and Arizona in back‑to‑back series during April.
Beyond the conference slate, the schedule features marquee non‑conference series against traditional powerhouses such as Arizona State and TCU, giving the Wildcats early exposure to national contenders.
Returning Talent and Coaching Vision
The roster returns six letterwinners, including pitchers Adam Arthur and Donte Lewis and outfielders Robby Bolin, Nick English and Cadyn Karl, while Ty Smolinski, the 2026 Cape Cod Baseball League MVP, is set to rejoin the lineup.
Head coach Pete Hughes highlighted the demanding road portion, noting that the tough matchups are designed to sharpen the program as it strives to become a perennial national threat.
The season will culminate with the Big 12 Championships in Surprise, Arizona, from May 25‑29, where the Wildcats hope to translate their challenging schedule into a championship run.
