The 2026 Big 12 Baseball Tournament is officially here under the bright, hot sun of Surprise, Arizona. It’s the week many fans of No. 2 seed WVU Baseball have waited anxiously in anticipation for the entire season. The Mountaineers have never won the Big 12 Tournament. Not in 2019 when they were led by current MLB pitcher Alek Manoah. Or in 2023, when JJ Wetherholt was not just the best player in the Big 12, but one of the best across the country. No matter who the coach has been or who has been on the team, WVU has never been able to get over the hump and secure its first Big 12 tournament title. However, several signs point to this being the year the Mountaineers finally accomplish that feat.
WV Sports Nation is pleased to announce its comprehensive on-site coverage of the 2026 Big 12 Baseball Tournament from Surprise, Arizona. Staff writer Logan Powell will be providing insight, recaps, and human interest features throughout the week. Here is everything you can expect.
