Vanderbilt's baseball team adds experienced catcher Matt Conte via the transfer portal, joining a lineup that already ranked among the SEC's most potent offenses.
Matt Conte, a draft‑eligible sophomore, chose Vanderbilt after a standout 2026 season at Wake Forest, bringing 12 home runs and a .274 average to the SEC.

Twelve Wake Forest baseball players were named to the 2026 All-ACC Academic Team, the most honors in a three-year stretch and tied for fourth most conference-wide.

The West Virginia Mountaineers defeated Wake Forest 10-5, highlighted by a decisive sixth‑inning rally and strong pitching from Dawson Montesa, setting up a regional final clash with Kentucky.

The Demon Deacons and the Mountaineers meet in an elimination game of the NCAA Baseball Tournament Regionals on Sunday, May 31, 2026, with a spot in the regional championship on the line.
Kentucky overcame an early deficit and a late homer to beat Wake Forest 6‑5, powered by a five‑run sixth inning and clutch performances from Braxton Van Cleave, Carson Hansen and Jayce Tharnish.

In the 2026 NCAA Baseball Morgantown Regional, Wake Forest edged Kentucky 8‑3, highlighted by ace Chris Levonas' 2.90 ERA and contributions from several standout players.

The Deacons fell 7‑3 to Duke in their final regular‑season game, but a series win and strong individual outings set the stage for the upcoming 2026 ACC Tournament.

In a rain‑soaked showdown at Jack Coombs Field, Duke’s offense sputtered early, allowing Wake Forest to build a four‑run lead before the Blue Devils trimmed the margin. Senior Day looms as the final game approaches.

The Blue Devils were unable to recover from a four-run hole, with Matthew Strand's 13th home run and Michael DiMartini's RBI single unable to spark a comeback.
