Multiple NCAA Baseball Teams Add Key Transfers For 2026

The 2026 college baseball transfer portal has seen significant activity among top programs, with Texas and Alabama making notable additions to strengthen their rosters. Texas has added 10 transfers, including seven hitters expected to have an immediate impact, addressing the loss of multiple starters and bolstering both offense and pitching, with players like infielder Livingston and standout Butler hitter Moroknek leading the class. Alabama's transfer class includes former Oklahoma outfielder Sam Christiansen, who brings SEC experience but must reduce his strikeout rate to be consistently productive, and right-handed pitcher Owen Sarna from Winthrop, who showed improvement over his sophomore season and is projected to contribute primarily from the bullpen. Meanwhile, NC State is experiencing roster changes with multiple players entering the transfer portal as it prepares to rebuild for the 2026 season. These moves reflect strategic efforts by programs to address positional needs and enhance competitiveness in the upcoming season.
