Previous season

edit

Oklahoma State is coming off of a season that saw the Pokes win their fifth ever Big 12 tournament title, their first since 2019, and their 26th overall tournament championship including their tenure in the Big Eight and Missouri Valley conferences. The Pokes finished the 2024 season with a 37–16 overall record and a 19–9 record in Big 12 play. In the Big 12 tournament, Oklahoma State beat their in-state rivals, Oklahoma, 9–3 in the championship.

The Pokes were awarded with a top 16 overall seed in the 2024 NCAA Division I baseball tournament, which gave them the right to host a regional. In the Stillwater Regional, Oklahoma State lost in the regional final against Florida.[2]

Outfielders, Carson Benge and Zach Ehrhard were named to the All-Big 12 first team.[3] All named to the All-Big 12 first team included designated hitter, Easton Carmichael, and starting pitcher, Brian Holiday.[3] Infielder Colin Brueggemann, outfielder Nolan Schubart, and relief pitcher Robert Cranz were named to the All-Big 12 second time. Finally, Aidan Meola and Tommy Molsky were named Big-12 honorable mentions.[3]
