At The Star, Taylor Eldridge, Wichita State beat reporter, writes about Mike Sweeney’s son, M.J. Sweeney, going to Wichita State:
The son of Kansas City Royals legend Mike Sweeney will suit up for the Wichita State baseball team in 2026.
M.J. Sweeney, a highly touted prospect who was originally committed to Texas out of high school, gave a verbal commitment to WSU head coach Brian Green on Thursday.
And yes, he plays first base just like his father, which will be a position of need for the Shockers entering the 2026 season following the graduations of Josh Livingston and Ryan Callahan.
