Arkansas State has entered the Baseball America Top 25 for the first time in program history, checking in at No. 22 in the publication’s Week 6 poll.The Red Wolves are coming off a strong 3-1 week, highlighted by a midweek win at Little Rock and a series victory over No. 7 Southern Miss to open conference play.
Arkansas State is one of two Sun Belt Conference teams included in the Baseball America rankings. In addition to the Top 25 nod, the Red Wolves also received recognition in several other national polls, including Perfect Game’s “also considered” list and the “receiving votes” category in both the USA Today Coaches Poll and the NCBWA poll.
The ranking marks a milestone for the program, which had not previously appeared in Baseball America’s Top 25. Arkansas State’s last national ranking came in 2019 when it was listed No. 29 in Collegiate Baseball’s Top 30 poll. The program’s highest finish in a major poll came in 1970 when it was ranked No. 24 in Collegiate Baseball’s final rankings.
The Red Wolves will look to build on their momentum as they travel to Atlanta to face Georgia State in a Sun Belt Conference series beginning March 20, with first pitch set for 4.
