Any update on the 2025 schedule?
Click to expand...
Here is what I have found on the Internet so far about the Big Ten Schedule for 2025
The BIG news is that the Big Ten baseball Schedule will increase from 24 to 30 games.
Normally that would mean 5 series at home and 5 series away starting Friday March 7.
However, that is not possible with our weather, so some series have been scheduled
to be played in neutral sites. For Instance, Michigan vs. Illinois will play their series at a neutral site
location in Vero Beach Florida 3/7-3/9
Minnesota has not released a schedule yet for 2025, but this is where the owners of the Skol-Dome could help us to keep the home games at home.
Here is a summary as of today 10/15/24 of Posted Scheduled (PS), Posted Not Scheduled (PNS), and Not Posted (NP) for Big Ten Teams vs. Minnesota
Illinois (PNS)
Indiana (NP)
Iowa (NP)
Maryland (PS) 5/9- 5/11 @ Siebert Field
Michigan (PNS)
Michigan State (PS) 5/15-5/17@ Michigan State
Nebraska (PS) 5/2-5/4 @ Nebraska
Northwestern (PNS)
Ohio State (PS) 4/11-4/13 @ Ohio State
Oregon (NP)
Penn State (PS) 4/4-4/6 @ Siebert Field
Purdue (NP)
Rutgers (NP)
UCLA (PNS)
USC (PS) 4/25-4/27 @ Siebert Field
Washington (PNS)
One non-conference scheduled tournament 2/21-23 @ Karbach Round Rock Tournament
in Round Rock Texas, suburban Austin Texas.
2/21 Gophers vs. Oklahoma 2:00pm
Oregon State vs. Virginia 6:00pm
2/22 Gophers vs. Virginia 12:00pm
Oklahoma vs. Oregon State 4:00pm
2/23 Gophers vs. Oregon State 12:00pm
Virginia vs. Oklahoma 4:00pm

In summary we have six big ten weekend scheduled and 4 weekends to schedule.
There are 5 teams that are NP (Not posted).

Off the top of my head, I believe both O'Lean and Kunick (sp?) on the Saint Thomas staff are native Minnesotans.

Iowa has posted their schedule; they will be at Siebert Field March 28-30th
Now 4 open Weekends left and 4 teams to choose from.
Teams Not Posted: Indiana, Oregon, Purdue, Rutgers,
Weekends 3/7-3/9, 3/14-3/16, 3/21-3/23, 4/18-20
 

Big Ten tourney will be 12 teams, similar to ACC format (four pools of three, max of four games)
 















The non-conference weekends are tough. High Point was the final weekend opponent to be announced and had a really good year last year. Also, road series within the conference at two of the teams likely to be favored for the league champion (Oregon, Nebraska).

I sometimes wonder why more midweek games aren't played later in season when weather is better (...none in May again this year...)

Finally, I notice the Saints are out of town for the game listed at Saint Thomas; wondering if there is a chance that is played at CHS Field?
 





With the new rules on JUCO not counting for eligibility, will we see coaches pointing kids down the JUCO path with possible offers after two years? Also, will coaches send kids down to JUCO for development with the idea of picking them back up after they mature?
 

Luke Ryerse announced on social media today that he's graduating early from East Ridge and immediately enrolling at University of Minnesota and starting baseball & football this spring.
 

Anyone want to speculate as to what our rotation looks like this spring? Argento? Hemmesch? Whelan? Selvig?
 

BetRivers has published their betting odds for the upcoming season. Gophers are tied with Spartans and Wildcats for worst odds for conference regular season championship at +5000. Oregon is favorite at +300, followed by Nebraska at +600.

I would have said Kennedy would be likely at the end of last season, but he's gone. Selvig seems like a strong possibility; Remington might be another name to add to that list.

Yep, I’m guessing he’ll get a long look as well though my gut says he’s more of a swing guy. I’m more bullish on Hunter Cook than most but I think he’d be relegated to midweek starts as a freshman. Lots of unknowns.

Our rotation may hold us back this year but I’m cautiously optimistic about life after Anderson.

Selvig, Semb, and Remington were seen as the leaders for the rotation this fall. Rooney, Thorsteinson, and Sundquist were some pieces they are thinking should be big bullpen pieces. Biggest key is that sophomore class finding consistency in their outings. Cook is a guy I've heard they really like his potential but he needs a lot of development, don't think you will see him in too many meaningful situations barring injury.
