Arkansas State Earns First-Ever Baseball America Top 25 Ranking
Arkansas State baseball has reached a historic milestone, earning its first-ever ranking in Baseball America’s Top 25.
The Red Wolves checked in at No. 22 in Baseball America’s Week 6 poll following a strong 3-1 week that included a midweek victory at Little Rock and a series win over No. 7 Southern Miss to open Sun Belt Conference play.
Arkansas State is one of two Sun Belt teams featured in the rankings, marking a significant step forward for the program.
In addition to the Baseball America ranking, the Red Wolves also gained national attention across multiple polls. Arkansas State was listed in the “also considered” category by Perfect Game and received votes in both the USA Today Coaches Poll and the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association poll.
The ranking is the program’s first appearance in Baseball America’s Top 25 and its first national recognition in a major poll since 2019, when the Red Wolves were ranked No. 29 in Collegiate Baseball’s Top 30. The highest ranking in program history came in 1970, when Arkansas State finished No. 24 in Collegiate Baseball’s final poll.
Arkansas State will look to build on its momentum as it travels to Atlanta to face Georgia State in the second weekend of conference play. The series opener is scheduled for March 20, with first pitch set for 4 p.m. CST.
