Texas Longhorns Baseball: 2026 Austin Super Regional – Ducks vs. Longhorns

Texas Softball 2026 National Champions

What a win for Mike White and the Horns in OKC over Texas Tech. Texas dropped the first game of the WCWS and then ran the table, finishing it with a sweep of the Red Raiders in the championship series. Teagan Kevan was MOP for the second year in a row. Teagan was the winner of Game 1, 7 innings, 3 hits, 3 earned runs, and 6 strikeouts. She finished the season 29-6 with that 7-3 win. Thursday night, Citlaly Gutierrez got the start and the win, Kavan had the save (her 5th) in the Texas 4-1 victory. An insane stat I saw (not verified): Teagan Kavan in her career at the WCWS in the 6th and 7th innings has 0.00 ERA and 26 strikeouts.

Katie Stewart’s homerun in Game 1 was epic.

Another road that doesn’t run through Lubbock.

The trophy that Teagan and her teammates are bringing back to Texas is our 71st National Championship. As reported by Danny Davis, 18 of those (25.4%) have been won since Chris Del Conte was hired in December of 2017.

Statistics

Texas Pitching

Dylan Volantis in the top 2 or 3 pitchers in the country remaining in the tournament. He is No. 3 nationally in ERA at 1.94, second only to Southern Cal’s Mason Edwards at 1.85 (UCSB’s Jackson Flora finished his season with a 1.06 EAR, allowing just 12 earned runs this season in 102 innings pitched). Dylan is No. 5 national in WHIP, at 0.94, but second among guys still pitching, behind Southern Cal’s Grant Govel at 0.88

Ruger Riojas, like Volantis, is one of the best left playing. Ranked 5th in Strikeout-to-Walk Ratio (7.07), the only guy still pitching ahead of him is Ole Miss Rebel Taylor Rabe, at 7.88.

When Schlossnagle brought Luke Harrison in Sunday night to get the final out against the Gauchos, it sent a message: No. 53 may be our Sunday starter, but he is trusted with the game on the line. Luke had pitched on Friday in the Holy Cross win, going 4 innings and throwing 50 pitches. The Horns were leading 7-0 when he came out, and I mentioned to someone that perhaps that somewhat light load meant he might be available on Sunday for some innings, especially if Texas was having to play two. Fortunately we weren’t but with the game and clinching the Regional on the line, Jim and Max brought in Luke for the save. It was pretty awesome.

Sam Cozart goes into the Supers as one of the best closers in the nation. Oddly, his outing against the Gauchos on Sunday was one of his worst this year. I think he was just a bit rusty, and better to get past that then than this weekend. Sam is 6-0 with 8 saves.

Full stats for the top of the staff. Link below for all the stats. I am extremely confident in the top 6-8 arms right now, but I would probably not put Crossland in if it is a possible bunting situation.

I like this stat – Fielding Independent Pitching (FIP): FIP is similar to ERA, but it focuses solely on the events a pitcher has the most control over — strikeouts, walks, hit-by-pitches and home runs. It entirely removes results on balls hit into the field of play. For example: If a pitcher has surrendered a high average on balls in play, his FIP will likely be lower than his ERA. Balls in play are not part of the FIP equation because a pitcher is believed to have limited control over their outcome. The formula: Where the “FIP constant” puts FIP onto the same scale as the entire league’s ERA: ((HR x 13) + (3 x (BB + HBP)) – (2 x K)) / IP + FIP constant. Sorted by FIP:

Texas Offense

The top of the lineup is on fire. Pack, Robbins, Tinney, Becerra, and Rodriguez are hitting well, other guys are getting some good hits and productive outs. Hard to really use the first two games of the Regional as a yardstick given the pummeling we gave the Crusaders and Texans, but it was sure fun to watch.

Justin Nash has an excellent preview on Inside Texas. I highly recommend the Inside Texas team. I am a bit biased, since Justin sits next to me at the Disch and we have become good friends and watched a couple thousand innings of baseball together the last few years.

Scouting the Oregon Ducks ahead of the super regional – On3

This is the first ever meeting between Texas and Oregon in baseball. However, in 2024, Jim Schlossnagle and the Fightin’ Texas Aggies swept the Ducks in the College Station Super Regional.

Oregon was established in 1872, and their motto is mens agitat molem, which means “the mind means mountains”. Nike runs the athletic program for all intents and purposes, even having designed the “O” logo. The most important thing about U of O in my life is that Animal House was filmed there.

Duck Pitching

Will Sanford, a 6 foot sophomore from San Diego, has been the Duck’s Friday night starter, and he leads the Oregon rotation with a 9-2 record and best ERA of 3.46. Collin Clarke is their Saturday starter. Cal Scolari started some Sundays early in the season, but Miles Gosztola has gotten the ball the last couple of months.

In the Eugene Regional, Scolari started and went 4.1, giving up 5 hits and 5 walks to Yale and striking out 5, no runs allowed. Against Washington State, Sanford started; 6.1 innings, 1 hit, no runs, 14 strikeouts and 2 walks. Sunday, Gosztola got the start and went 6 innings against the Beavers, giving up just 1 run; 5 hits, 2 walks, and 8 strikeouts.

Devin Bell is their closer, best I can tell, and Tanner Bell is a stud out of the pen. Did some research, and a lot of pundits give the bullpen edge to the Ducks (and starting pitching to Texas).

Some good bats. Cooney leads in average and hits, Lauaki leads in OPS and slug, Smith leads in RBI and homeruns. A solid lineup, but as you will see below, considerably weaker than the Horns nationally on the season.

TCT Thoughts – Super Regional

The Ducks are pretty hot, but I think that can be said about every team that makes it to the Sweet 16. Look at the 4 seeds noted below. Nonetheless, Oregon puts a good squad on the diamond, and Texas is going to have to continue to play good clean baseball to win this series and get to Omaha.

Justin Nash did some good research, and his prediction on the Oregon lineup. Having a banger like Lauaki in the 6 spot is wild.

	Player	Position	Batting Avg.	On Base %	OPS
1	Ryan Cooney	2B	.335	.424	.955
2	Angel Laya	RF	.307	.410	.971

8	Jax Gimenez	LF	.281	.464	.908
9	Jack Brooks	CF	.244	.374	.779

Some good bats, and a heckuva feat to have 7 guys with an OPS over .900. All the more reason we need our starters – the best of our pitching staff – to go deep. We need 7 and a win from Volantis on Saturday. I think Ruger is going shock the world Sunday night. Just got a feeling. If I am wrong and we have to play on Monday, it will be all hands on deck and I give the edge to Texas.

I think our big bats will be solid, and if Pack can do half of what he did last weekend, Texas should dominate. Tinney and Robbins and Becerra will get some hits, as will Rodriguez and Mendoza, but what I am really hoping is that Casey Borba gets back in one of those grooves where he is slaughtering the ball.

Texas has a real home field advantage at the Disch, and I expect it to be loud and rowdy this weekend. Let’s make sure the Ducks know that they are playing in the home of champions.

I have Texas winning the series. I really, really want it to be in 2, but I just want to Texas to get to Omaha. College Baseball Analytics gives Texas 76% chance of winning and advancing. The odds for Saturday night – Texas -250, Oregon +190.

TCT Thoughts – Regional Sweep

It was a fun weekend!

I said last week “Biggest weekend for Texas Baseball and Jim Schlossnagle since his arrival in Austin. Texas has the talent to win and even sweep, but the Longhorns are going to have click on all ten cylinders.” Texas did, except for the bottom of the sixth inning on Sunday against the Gauchos, when we had a bit of pitching meltdown, when two walks and two errors led to 2 Gaucho runs and a 3-2 lead for UCSB. But Schloss and Weiner applied a tourniquet with Ethan Walker, who did his job and got an out, and then Burn came in finished the job getting two outs (the first thanks to a really great play by Becerra at 2nd to stab a hard hit line drive). Burns struck out Esquer to end the sixth, and in the seventh K’d the first two batters and then got Nunez to ground into a 6-3 to end the inning. Offensively, Texas rallied in the 7th on a Borba single and a Robbins 3 run dinger. They added 2 insurance runs in the 8th with a Rodriguez single and a Mendoza double and Gaucho error. Cozart had, as noted, a bumpy outing over the 8th inning and first two outs of the ninth, but the force was with Luke as he slammed the door on the Gauchos with 2 pitches to save the game. 6-4 Texas win.

I was at all three games, and the Texas bats were as hot as the Disch on Friday, as we pounded the Crusaders 19-1 on 21 hits. The Holy Cross starter, Jaden Wywoda, went 4.2 innings giving up 8 runs and 11 hits, but he got a standing ovation from the knowledgeable and classy Disch-Falk faithful. Harrison went 4 innings, Howard had 2 scoreless innings, and Walker and Hamilton each had 1 scoreless inning. Jason Flores entered in the 9th and gave up a run. Hope he gets his control back, as we could use a 99 mph arm.

As I had hoped, Tarleton State upset UC Santa Barbara Friday night, forcing the Gauchos into the losers bracket and setting up a rematch with the Longhorns on Saturday night. As someone yelled from Section 8 – it isn’t Tuesday. Texas went on to do what Santa Anna fortunately couldn’t – slaughter the Texans. 16 runs on 12 hits, and Dylan Volantis was nails. 6.2 innings, 3 hits, 1 run, and 7 strikeouts to 1 walk. Robbins had a bomb.

Speaking of Section 8, a cool picture. Taken in part to get the burnt orange sunset, but it turned out to capture much of the “northside” family I have at Texas Baseball. Photo by Andrew Scroggie, who was Jason Becker’s guest sitting in Hawley’ seats. Jason is to my right. Also in the photo, Brad Laughlin to my left, who has attended a few hundred Texas baseball games with me, Jason Barclay next to him. Behind us are Jake Brown with his dad and long time (like YMBL days) friend Rodger Anderson, and at the end of the row Hector Rivero and his wife. Above us, Rudy Colmenero (Bruce Irick is usually there). Across the aisle in Section 9, Tim and Carol Crowley, and below them James “Butters” Barton and Judd Messer (not visible). That’s Bryan Plater taking a photo up higher in Section 9, he and Beth were there with Cami and John Hawkins (good Tyler folks). And that’s just the friends to my left (and some weren’t there, chief among them John Messer and Ted Heaton). Disch-Falk really is like a family. Those of us who go to the majority of games spend a lot of hours together, and it is part of what makes Texas baseball so special.

Some of the other folks in Section 8 are Allison and Gregg Knaupe, Drew Fox, Justin Nash, Larry Temple and/or or Lawrence Temple, and then over in Section 7 Mike Cook and his wife Fran, the great Texas baseball supporters Gina and Don Reese and usually son Andy and some grandkids.

A beautiful night – great reel here.

Regionals & the Supers

A few thoughts about the rest of the Regionals. It was, without question, one of the wildest weekends of NCAA baseball in my memory. UCLA was the first team to go from preseason to the tournament as the No. 1 team. They got eliminated by the St. Mary Gaels. Cal Poly, the 3 seed in Los Angeles, would go on to win and get the privilege of going to Morgantown, West Virginia to play a hot Mountaineer team. And the Mountaineer win gave us one of the best moments of the weekend. Take me home country roads! Worth your time to watch it. CBA PEAR gives WVU an 83% chance of advancing.

The most insane results were in the paired Gainesville and Hattiesburg Regionals. 4 seed Troy eliminated No. 8 Florida and 4 seed Arkansas Little Rock beat Southern Miss. First ever 4 seed Super Regional. CBA PEAR gives WVU an 80% chance of winning.

Georgia Tech was, like UCLA, one of the best teams in the country all season and the national No. 2 seed. The Land Thieves went to Atlanta and stole the Yellow Jackets’ season. Oklahoma gets to go to Lawrence to play old Big 8 rival Kansas who held serve in their regional, including beating Arkansas. I like that. CBA PEAR gives Kansas a 67% chance of advancing

St. John’s was the 4 seed in the Tallahassee Regional. No. 10 Florida State was eliminated, and St. John’s gets to go to Tuscaloosa to play the Crimson Tide who survived their regional. CBA PEAR has Alabama with a 91% chance of going to Omaha.

The bottom right corner of the bracket held, as No. 3 Georgia and No. 14 Mississippi State took care of business. They play this weekend in Athens. Dawgs get the nod, with CBA PEAR gives them a 70% chance of advancing

The bottom left corner is also an all-SEC affair, as No. 4 Auburn won and will host Ole Miss, who went to Lincoln and beat No. 13 Nebraska. CBA PEAR gives War Eagle a 63% chance of beating Ole Miss. I think not. Hotty Toddy.

No. 5 North Carolina had a hell of regional with Tennessee, East Carolina, and a hot little 4 seed VCU, but the Tar Heels survived and will face …

The Southern Cal Trojans, who went to College Station and beat No. 12 Texas Agricultural & Mechanical 14-3 on Sunday to force a winner take all on Monday. The Trojans then eliminated Texas Agricultural & Mechanical with a 7-1 win to fight on.

CBA PEAR gives the Tarheels a 73% chance of advancing

Cruz-Cantwell Bill

No one questions that we need to “fix” college athletics. It is a hot mess and not sustainable. Unfortunately, the current version of the Protect College Sports Act by Senators Cruz and Cantwell is not the right cure. Write your senators and tell them “NO” on the current version. They have to get something that works for the Southeastern Conference and The University of Texas. Read more, the statement from the SEC and Big Ten.

Preseason Polls

Many of us have discussions about the worthlessness of preseason polls in college sports. I personally like them, because they give us something to talk about and write about and gives some insight into what people think teams will have. But they also give us the opportunity to see just how far off preseason prognostication can be. Here is the D1 Baseball preseason poll and where we are now.

UCLA (eliminated in their own regional, lost to the St. Mary’s Gaels in elimination game)
LSU (missed tournament)
Texas (Super!)
Mississippi State (Super)
Georgia Tech (eliminated by the Land Thieves in their own regional)
Coastal Carolina (eliminated)
Arkansas (eliminated)
Louisville (missed tournament)
Auburn (Super)
Texas Christian (missed tournament)
UNC (supers)
Oregon State (eliminated by Oregon in Eugene Regional)
Florida (eliminated by Troy in their own Regional)
