Many might assume that a team that lost seven players to the 2024 MLB Draft – including No. 1 overall pick Travis Bazzana – would be a shadow of its former self.

Whether the Bruins retain their top spot in the Big Ten standings will be out of their control this weekend.
No. 14 UCLA baseball (23-5, 10-2 Big Ten) will face San Diego (6-22, 3-3 WCC) in a three-game series at Jackie Robinson Stadium beginning Friday and concluding Sunday.

The Waves sent eight pitchers to the mound Tuesday, but they couldn’t subdue the Bruins’ bats.
Scoring double-digit runs for the third straight game – and 12th time this season – No.

The Bruins began the 2024 campaign ranked No. 22 in the nation by D1Baseball and climbed to No. 20 after an opening weekend sweep.
But after then-No.

Sixty-four teams qualify for the NCAA tournament every year – with berths awarded to 31 conference champions and 33 teams at-large.
The Bruins have missed the cut each of the past two seasons, but if they’re hoping to make it this time around, they’ll either have to win their conference or impress the NCAA Division I Baseball Committee.

Coach John Savage has consistently talked about pulling off a dramatic turnaround following last season’s 19-33 campaign.
And after a 6-1 start, the Bruins’ next test comes in the form of a former Pac-12 foe.

Coming off its worst season since 2005, UCLA baseball (4-0) is undefeated to begin 2025. While the Bruins are next headed to Corpus Christi, Texas, for the Kleberg Bank Classic, they are just two weeks away from beginning conference action in their first season in the Big Ten.

The key to scoring runs is getting on base.
And the Bruins safely reached 26 times Tuesday with eight hits, three hit by pitches and 15 walks – their most bases on balls since at least 2015.

A goodbye to the fall season came with a goodbye to an impactful player.
After traveling to Atlanta, Georgia for the East Lake Cup, UCLA women’s golf finished its fall season with a consolation match victory over No.
