Stanford Righty Joey Volchko Enters NCAA Transfer Portal

2 days ago | baseballamerica.com | Jacob Rudner

Stanford righthander Joey Volchko, one of college baseball’s most tantalizing arms, has entered the NCAA transfer portal after two seasons with the Cardinal. He’s done so with a do-not-contact designation, a move that typically signals either a predetermined destination or a desire to control the flow of communication through his representation.
Kevin Schnall Named Baseball America's 2025 College Coach Of The Year

3 days ago | baseballamerica.com | Jacob Rudner

Kevin Schnall’s instructions weren’t printed on paper. They were passed down in bus rides, in batting cage conversations, in quiet late-night moments after losses. Gary Gilmore didn’t hand Schnall a manual when he retired as Coastal Carolina head coach last summer. Instead, he handed Schnall something heavier: A program. A culture. A standard. “Put together the best team,” Schnall said Gilmore taught him.
Baseball America 2025 College Player of the Year

4 days ago | baseballamerica.com | Jacob Rudner

John Savage still remembers the phone call vividly. It was June 2020. Shortstop Roch Cholowsky had just finished ninth grade at his suburban Phoenix high school. Savage had been tracking him for months—long before other programs had even started looking. It’s a moment the UCLA head coach still believes changed the future of the Bruins’ program. “I committed on the spot,” Cholowsky said. “I would have just turned 15.”There wasn’t a parade of suitors. No national buzz. But Savage didn’t need consensus.

Kevin Schnall Addresses College World Series Ejection, Suspension

5 days ago | baseballamerica.com | Jacob Rudner

Just seven batters into Game 2 of the national championship, chaos unfolded at home plate. Coastal Carolina head coach Kevin Schnall was ejected in the bottom of the first inning after a seemingly benign exchange with home plate umpire Angel Campos over balls and strikes. Moments later, first base coach Matt Schilling was tossed as well. The timing of the decision—with a national title on the line and tensions still low—drew immediate backlash across the stadium and well beyond.
RoboScout's Top Fantasy Prospects At Every Level On June 22, 2025

5 days ago | baseballamerica.com | Dylan White

When we mentioned Marlins shortstop Luis Arana last week, he had zero strikeouts and two homers. After 20 more plate appearances, Arana finally struck out, but he also added three more steals. The 17-year-old is RoboScout’s top DSL prospect early on. Guardians shortstop Jose Riera ranks second. Despite his 5-foot-8 stature, the 17-year-old already has three homers and a 202 wRC+ through 45 plate appearances.
Jay Johnson's Latest National Championship Proves LSU Is Built To Last

5 days ago | baseballamerica.com | Jacob Rudner

There was never a guarantee Jay Johnson would do it again. Not in this era. Not with the volatility of the transfer portal, the arms race of NIL and the pressure of following a national championship at LSU. But there was always a feeling. A quiet understanding inside the clubhouse, across the SEC and around the country that Johnson was building something sturdier than hype. On Sunday afternoon, that belief became fact.
LSU Wins Eighth National Title With Win Over Coastal Carolina

5 days ago | baseballamerica.com | Jacob Rudner

LSU returned to college baseball’s mountaintop Sunday afternoon, beating Coastal Carolina 5-3 to win its eighth national championship and second in three years. The Tigers are the only program to win multiple championships in the transfer portal era (since 2018) and head coach Jay Johnson becomes the sixth coach in the super regional era (since 1999) to win multiple titles. LSU largely cruised to its series-clinching win on Sunday.
Kade Anderson College World Series Shutout Puts LSU One Win from Title

6 days ago | baseballamerica.com | Jacob Rudner

His 124th pitch was a curveball. And not just any curveball. A 3,225 RPM dagger that bent the air and buckled the batter. That number, 3,225, does not belong in the ninth inning. It barely belongs in college baseball at all. Yet, it was the final punctuation mark on a night that didn’t ask for attention so much as it demanded reverence. Kade Anderson didn’t just pitch LSU to a 1-0 win over Coastal Carolina in Game 1 of the College World Series finals.
How Jared Jones Became The Soul Of LSU Baseball's National Championship Push

1 week ago | baseballamerica.com | Jacob Rudner

Skip to content Jay Johnson has a way of describing the best teams he’s coached. He wants them trained like Navy SEALs, sharp and unshakable, but able to compete with the freedom of a casual ping pong player—loose, laughing, utterly unburdened. Somewhere between relentless and relaxed. He sees that balance in Jared Jones, his 6-foot-4 power-hitting first baseman.
