STEPHENVILLE, Texas – Kansas baseball will travel to Tarleton State this weekend for a three-game series that now begins on Saturday with a doubleheader at 12 p.m. CT. The first game of the series was originally scheduled for Friday but has been adjusted due to freezing temperatures on Friday.
Kansas has started the year 4-0 for the first time since the 2014 season. The Jayhawks recorded a four-game series sweep of Texas A&M-Corpus Christi for the first four-game series sweep on the road against a Division I opponent since 1978. Kansas outscored Texas A&M-Corpus Christi 44-6 in the series.
"I thought we did a great job this past weekend of pitching and attacking the zone," head coach Dan Fitzgerald said. "Defensively, for the most part, we took care of the baseball and on offense, we protected the plate and had a great approach. We need to continue to play clean baseball to be successful this weekend at Tarleton State."
Sophomore Brady Ballinger, junior Dariel Osoria and senior Tommy Barth each hit safely in all four games on opening weekend. Osoria leads the team with a .467 batting average and 10 RBIs. Meanwhile, Ballinger hit the first home run of the season for the Jayhawks and Barth had multiple clutch hits, including the go-ahead hit in extra innings of the season opener.
Tarleton State (3-1) played Butler on opening weekend and won the first three games before dropping the series finale. The Texans scored 58 runs in the series and hit .385 as a team. The pitching staff posted a 6.00 ERA in the four games against Butler.
HOW TO FOLLOW ALONG
Both games on Saturday will be broadcast on ESPN+ and the final game on Sunday will be on WAC International (subscription required). Fans can also listen to all three games on the Jayhawk Sports Network on KUAthletics.com and the Kansas Jayhawks app.

STARTING PITCHING
The combination of sophomore Dominic Voegele, redshirt sophomore Manning West, redshirt junior Patrick Steitz and sophomore Cooper Moore went 2-0 with a 1.50 ERA on opening the week. The four starters combined to throw 18.0 innings and tally 19 strikeouts compared to only one walk.
SHUTOUTS
Kansas finished the series against Texas A&M-Corpus Christi with back-to-back shutouts of 8-0 and 16-0. The shutouts helped Kansas to finish the weekend with a 1.29 ERA as a pitching staff. That mark is the lowest in the Big 12 through the first weekend of play.
2025 ROSTER MAKEUP
The 2025 roster has a total of 39 players, with 27 newcomers and 12 returners. Of the 39 on the 2025 roster, there are 22 pitchers and 17 position players. The roster was constructed with 31 transfers and eight high school recruits. As the trend in college baseball has evolved into staying old, 29 of the players on the roster are a junior or older.
SERIES HISTORY
Kansas and Tarleton State will be meeting in baseball for the first time in school history.
