When the NCAA Baseball Tournament 64-team field was announced last season, Missouri found itself in a category that leaves a pit in your stomach: first four out. Inevitably, coach Tim Jamieson, set to begin his 22nd year at the helm of the program, began his first media session of the season with the words “one game.”
Mizzou has not reached the postseason since 2012, but a talented core of young players shifted the program’s mentality last season. Throw in veteran leaders like Ryan Howard and Zach Lavy and the Tigers are primed to hang another banner in the McArtor Baseball Facility.
