Wow. I was so busy jumping up and down I missed that. Heck of a save by the outfielder.

Kind of a Pyrrhic victory though (and though hard to tell, I don’t think it would have gone over).

To quote the philosopher Shake Tiller, “A W is a W.”

To be clear, I was referring to the outfielder’s play. He may have “saved a homer” (though I’m not sure it was going over), but since the winning run still scored, it didn’t do much.

Feb 28 Fresno State at Stanford. Everything that’s wrong with the Stanford team and encapsulated in the top of the fourth.

Everyone wanted to see how Sasaki would do, but he struck out swinging the first 2 AB, then was HBP in his back. Went 0 for 3 on the day (I didn’t see the other AB).
Two-way player Brock Ketelsen’s 420ft HR was unbelievable.
Waseda used wooden bats as they do in their league.
According to their FB post, Stanford hosted Waseda’s first game on US soil in 1905!?!?
Waseda and Keio have had a long-standing rivalry, and I see more of a similarity (school vibe wise) between us and Keio (where we’ve had a long exchange program), but that’s neither here nor there.

Looks like the guys had fun:

9 once said that pitching and defense win championships. Early in the season, still looking for signs of hope.


RE: Stanford Baseball 2025/26 - BostonCard - 03-01-2026

Through 5, it’s 11-5 Fresno State, ergo the concerns about pitching (12 hits, 11 earned runs in 6 1/3).

Sure looks like it! Thanks for sharing.

Stanford starting pitching has been notably poor so far this season. No starting pitcher has won a game yet. (I hope the anti-woofing gods are listening)

Please reread the laws. Anti-wooFs do not work. The Woof Gods know your true beliefs and desires.

Stanford 6 NV 4 top 8. Starting pitchers still in based on pitch counts: about 120 each. So far.


RE: Stanford Baseball 2025/26 - BobK - 03-02-2026

Nevada scored 5 in the 9th lead 9-6. Neither starting pitcher made it to the 6th inning :)

Yeah, saw that. Pitch count did not reset when a new pitcher came in. So far, the folks working the stats for the broadcast have not been impressive.


RE: Stanford Baseball 2025/26 - BobK - 03-02-2026

And another loss 9-6

Isn’t there a freshman pitcher jumping up and down to be our closer? Because right now they have been firemen. In the Fahrenheit 451 sense of the word.

It’s going to be a long season for Stanford baseball. We’ve been trending downward the past few years and it seems nothings changed to fix that narrative this year.

I hope this is a rebuilding year. Although I worry that NIL will not favor the Stanford program.

Our recruiting class for next season is outstanding

Stanford Baseball travels east for its first ACC series of the 2026 season, this one against #15 Wake Forest. WF was picked #9 in the ACC preseason poll (Stanford was picked #10) but has jumped out to a 12-1 start. WF hasn't played as difficult a schedule as Stanford, but they've taken care of business. Stanford is coming in to Winston-Salem with a 3-game home losing streak vs Fresno State x 2 and Nevada, a last-inning meltdown that snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. But as far as I'm concerned, both teams are 0-0 and tomorrow is opening day :-)

First pitch for Friday's game is 3:02 pm Pacific, according to gostanford.com.

A Sasaki Bomb to lead off the game!
