“Everyone associated with our baseball program enjoys following our former players in professional baseball. As professional baseball continues to recover from the 2020 season being canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this is a huge year for our guys as they chase their dreams of playing in the big leagues. We’ve got six former Jayhawks knocking on the door in Triple-A, and it’s going to be an exciting rest of the 2022 professional baseball season.” – Head Coach Ritch Price
