Baylor baseball looks to open the season on the right foot this weekend as the Bears host University of Washington for a three-game home series.
The season officially begins at 6:35 p.m. today when junior pitcher Daniel Castano takes the mound against Washington’s Noah Bremer.
For the Bears, including new head coach Steve Rodriguez, the offseason has felt like a lifetime.
“I think everybody’s excited,” Rodriguez said, “I think we’re kind of sick of staring at each other. We need to see what we have got.”
Even for a player not pitching until the second game, opening day brings jitters.
