@C_M_F_87 @KameronAsh2 @mountaineerjdub I’m down for paying top power hitters too. Gavin needs somebody to knock it over the fence with him

@barryluost @KameronAsh2 @mountaineerjdub We had the best pitching staff in the Big 12 and one of the 7 or 8 best in the country. We would have outmatched every team in pitching in the CWS except UNC. UNC has arguably the best staff in the country. If anything, our offense wasn't good enough.

#WVU baseball has received a portal commitment. The player has asked for me to not announce his name until he announces it later.

@KameronAsh2 @mountaineerjdub We also get outmatched on the mound. I think high level arms are worth paying for

@barryluost @mountaineerjdub we will eventually its not all about getting the power 4 guys we’ve proven that we can find better else where and power 4 guys want more money why pay worse players 🤷🏿‍♂️

@KameronAsh2 @mountaineerjdub See we need to start hitting our chests and recruit big time.

@mountaineerjdub is this like a power 5 guy

@mountaineerjdub Big fish?

@knicksarecomp @WVSportsChat @CouzWalker When it snows in hell kind of chance. He’d go to another school before here

@mountaineerjdub @WVSportsChat @CouzWalker any chance chase comes back?

Portal tracker on @WVSportsChat has been updated with an assist from @CouzWalker. P Luke Lyman P Bryson Thacker P Andrew Middleton P Mac Stiffler P Wyatt Mosley INF Ryan Maggy And yes, P Chase Meyer is in the portal but not listed on our tracker page.

@WVUOU @fauxcaridi Well I would’ve agreed before but if wvu football can’t get rolling we just need to pour into baseball and basketball.

@fauxcaridi First - love the analogy 🤍 second- we now need football to be competitive and fun as well! Doesn’t need to be a championship season (altho I will take it!) but a decent bowl game!

The 2026 WVU Baseball team has done for WVU what Lightning McQueen did for Radiator Springs. We’re back on the map, and in a big way. WVU athletics will prosper, and they can all thank this baseball program for getting it started.

@KenKendrick18 @michaeltbenson @WestVirginiaU @WVUBaseball @JohnsHopkins Thanks Ken! Let’s keep this baseball thing rolling

West Virginia is beginning be known world wide because of the great success of the WVU baseball team and the support of our fans as demonstrated through our singing of Country Roads after each Mountaineer win. Earlier today the USA victory in the World Cup was celebrated by 75,000 fans singing our favorite song! Go Mountaineers!!!

"Being average means you are as close to the bottom as you are to the top" -- John Wooden This is NOT the time for @WestVirginiaU to be average @WVUBaseball showed us what is possible & this partnership with @JohnsHopkins challenges us to expect more of ourselves Let's Go!

@mountaineerjdub The nuke would be GK leaving but I doubt wren baker lets that happen.

The transfer portal could really hurt #WVU or really help them. Right now? It seems to be OK, but that all could change with 1 move either way.

@WVUBaseball Armani needs to get that ump safe picture and sign it for people. Dude can make bank off that

Now available at the team store! 📍 376 Patteson Drive

@ryan_maggy Good luck Ryan!

I want to thank my coaches and teammates for the last two years at West Virginia. It was an amazing ride and I wouldn’t change a thing. With that being said, I am officially in the transfer portal looking for a new opportunity as an incoming redshirt sophomore. (518)598-6723

@realfakesaban @MountainManWvu @ryan_maggy Stop

@MountainManWvu @ryan_maggy He’s obviously soft as Charmin, glad he’s leaving we need #HardEdge dudes

@mountaineerjdub I’m waiting for that Steve Sabins extension announcement. It going to hit like crack

Why would Steve Sabins downgrade and go to OSU?

@buzzbkeelin Marshall is not major

@stevesabins @WVUBaseball Yeah, but… you disrespect a portion of WV-ians by disrespecting our university (Marshall). “We’re the only major university in the state” you’re not even from here and other thank McDougal, did you even play any WV kids? Stop w/your were about the people.

WVU Baseball will always be about the people. The people on the team. The people supporting the team. The people of the state. We work everyday to be the best, to accomplish great things and to represent a school and state that has given so much to us. The 2026 @WVUBaseball team is the greatest team in program history. The players who were granted the privilege of wearing WEST VIRGINIA across their chest were the best to ever do it. Congratulations to these players, this staff, and the best fans in the country. It takes all of us… and we’re just getting started.

@JSanders_LXXI This is the cws not little league

Lost a lot of respect for WVU today. Stuff like that is gonna come around and bite you at some point.

@TuckerBlanc *Cole bassinger and whoever looks hot.

WVU’s pitching path next 2 days would probably be: G1- Cole - Estridge - Bassinger G2- Korn - Hagen - Yehl Setup pretty ideal for tomorrow against a Game 3. Could they beat DeCaro with those 3 coming back? Unlikely

@CastrilliNick Love Brodie but no more second base for him

Didn’t get a video of it, but during WVU’s batting practice Brodie Kresser was taking reps at 1B. Gavin Kelly was at 2B.

@Matty040790 @WVUBaseball You were saying?

Smith adds another! T6 | Mountaineers 6, Trojans 0

@WVUBaseball @gavin_kelly18 There he is

That ball is GONE! @gavin_kelly18

@KendallRogers @WVUBaseball He’s back

Take a bow, Gavin Kelly. The @WVUBaseball superstar hits a three-run shot just over the fence in left-center field to make it 5-0, Mountaineers, over Troy here in the sixth inning. That was 101 mph off the bat. #CWS2026

@WVUBaseball Help him.

Dawson's dealing❗️ E5 | Mountaineers 2, Trojans 0
