Our first look at Ohio State baseball for '26 is revealing...new faces, new hopes, and a prodigal son returning (shortstop Henry Kaczmar, above).  And oh...pitchers by the dozen. Read more in Tuesday's Press Pros feature.

Julian Sayin has a career day, Carnell Tate makes great catches, the running game is still wonky, and the defense is as good as ever in a shutout over the Wisconsin Badgers.

Ryan Day likes the efficiency of the Buckeyes’ rushing attack led by freshman Bo Jackson. But he and the blockers aren’t giving up on the possibility that some breakaway runs are coming.

Ryan Day isn’t happy that the transfer portal is confined to early January when the Buckeyes expect to always be competing in the playoffs. But, as he has done with other changes, expect him and his staff to find a way to minimize, if not eliminate, the damage.

The defense (above) had reason to celebrate, and Ohio State didn't play its cleanest or most inspiring game Saturday in the Central Time Zone. But Ryan Day will always take a win at a ranked Big Ten opponent. Jeff Gilbert writes for Press Pros.
