Coach Jim Schlossnagle assembles a 2027 roster that blends high‑school signees, returning seniors and portal talent, aiming for a national title.

The Healdsburg Prune Packers surged to sole first place in the Pacific Empire League after a three‑game sweep, while the Sonoma Stompers kept their eight‑game streak alive with dominant wins over the SF Seagulls and Alameda Merchants.

Eleven former Texas Longhorns baseball players have found new homes after entering the transfer portal, signaling a significant reshaping of the program's roster.

The Longhorns finished 2026 with a 46‑15 record and a College World Series appearance, but several star players are set to leave while new talent and coaching staff arrive for the upcoming season.

Following the conclusion of the 2026 campaign, the Longhorns lost a dozen key contributors to the transfer portal, including pitchers Jason Flores and Kade Bing, catchers Carson Tinney and Andrew Ermis, and several position players. Their departures reshape the squad as the program looks to reload for next season.

The Packers improved to 3‑1 in league play with a four‑game winning streak, highlighted by JC Osorio‑Agar’s .409 average and 20 RBIs, while the Stompers rebounded to .500 with a grand slam from Tino Vasell.

The Healdsburg Prune Packers opened the 2026 campaign with six consecutive victories, but a narrow loss to the Chico Lone Wolves revealed areas for improvement. Meanwhile, the Sonoma Stompers are grappling with a three‑game losing streak.

With the college baseball transfer window open, Texas is aggressively reshaping its lineup, adding proven talent like Linkin Garcia and targeting key positions before the draft.

The 2026 NCAA Baseball Tournament features a record number of USA Baseball alumni, with 72 former national team members across 28 teams, concentrating in regions like Lawrence, Chapel Hill and Arkansas, and showcasing standout prospects such as Roch Cholowsky and Golden Spikes semifinalists.
