First pitch just one week away.

A couple blurbs from Kendal Rogers, managing editor of D1 baseball.

This K-State team has at least one baseball expert in its corner. Kendall Rogers, who is managing editor of D1Baseball, which put K-State at No. 24 in its preseason rankings, uses the word “dangerous” to describe the Wildcats in 2024.

“The biggest thing for me in looking at K-State on paper is the personnel and the fact that this is a club that is very talented with a chip on its shoulder,” Rogers says. “That’s extremely dangerous. It’s one thing to be a team with a chip on its shoulder and to have so-so talent, and it’s another to be a talented team. Brady Day is a really exciting spark-plug player. Kaelen Culpepper, we all saw flashes of his brilliance last year, and he’s going to have a monster year. Chuck Ingram is a really nice addition from the transfer portal. Then you look at Tyson Neighbors, a slam-dunk for me as an All-American and Preseason Big 12 Pitcher of the Year, and he’s their assassin.

“It’s a great mix of them feeling disrespected and having the talent to do something about it. That’s a dangerous combo.”

********


Count Rogers of D1Baseball among those anxious to see the Wildcats progress down the road in what could be one of the more memorable seasons in school history.

“It’s pretty clear for me,” Rogers says. “I love this club offensively, and they’re going to really hit. The biggest thing for me is the starting rotation. If they can get the game to Neighbors at the end, he’s going to throw two or three innings because he’s too valuable. I’ll look at arms that can get six or seven innings and they’ll be in great shape.

“I’ll say this about K-State, if the weekend rotation pans out, I don’t think this is a top-25 team, this is a top-10 or top-12 team.”

Kansas State Baseball Preview: K-State coach Pete Hughes speaks with Cole Carmody

https://247sports.com/college/kansas-st ... 227241163/

[bhoovy]

Cats lose season opener to Cal 6-3. Fell behind 2-0. Went up 3-2 in the 5th on a couple doubles and then a Jones HR. But gave it right back in the bottom with 2 and then gave up a run in both the 6th and 8th.

Borema got the start and went just 3 innings giving up 2 runs on 3 hits and struck out 4. Wintroub pitched 2.1 and gave up 3 runs on 4 hits and struck out 3. Wentworth pitched the other 2.2 and gave up 1 run on 4 hits with 5 K’s.

7 of the 9 batters got hits with Riveria and Lobliner the only players with 2 hits.

It’s just the first game, but still a little disappointing with the expectations coming into the season and the fact that while they play 2 other power 5 programs this weekend, none of the others are projected to get to the post season.

Tomorrow at 1pm vs Boston College. Hopefully the Cats get that first win and hopefully it’s one of many.

Cats bounce back and beat Boston College 6-4. Georgetown up next.

Edged Georgetown today 7-6. Led most of the way. Survived a two run home run in the ninth before Neighbors closed it out.

Looks like a good start. I am going to start following the team closer. May help the spring go faster.

Yeah and that 2 run hr was off Neighbors, so he’s still to get into form.

All 3 games were close. Now they make a trip over to Tempe and play ASU tomorrow. This is a resume building game if you can come away with the W.

The team also goes to Tennessee and Clemson for back to back games. Great opportunities. Hopefully we get a return visit from both next year.

We learned from the NCAA snub last spring. We have a better schedule.
