Kansas baseball coach Dan Fitzgerald, players highlight progress
Check out everything Kansas baseball coach Dan Fitzgerald and his players had to say Wednesday as the Jayhawks continued to progress this season.
LAWRENCE — Kansas baseball has climbed back into the top 25 of the USA TODAY Sports baseball coaches poll on Monday, and now sits at No. 25.
The Jayhawks (35-10, 15-6 in Big 12) are currently on an eight-game winning streak, including a three-game sweep this past weekend on the road in Big 12 Conference play against Utah. This past week also included a win on the road against Nebraska. Coach Dan Fitzgerald and company continue to work toward earning a NCAA regional appearance this season.
This upcoming week features four games for Kansas, all at home inside Hoglund Ballpark. First, there’s a game Tuesday against rival Missouri. Then, this upcoming weekend, there’s a three-game series against Cincinnati.
As the regular season winds to a close during the month of May, the Jayhawks continue to put themselves in a position not just to reach the NCAA tournament but potentially host a regional. They continue to put themselves in position to compete for a Big 12 championship. KU doesn’t lack momentum, and can garner even more if it can continue to string together some success in the days ahead.
