Stanford Baseball Highlights Freshman Impact Ahead of 2025 Season

Stanford baseball is off to a strong start this season with a 4-0 record, bolstered by an impressive freshman class led by Rintaro Sasaki, who is hitting .389 with eight RBIs. Sasaki, a highly touted prospect from Japan, has the potential to make a significant impact as a designated hitter or first baseman. The team also welcomed JJ Moran, a promising shortstop who has yet to bat this season, and Tatum Marsh, a strong outfield prospect. Meanwhile, Princeton's baseball team prepares for its 2025 season opener against Miami, led by senior pitcher Jacob Faulkner and All-Ivy performer Jake Koonin. UMass faces challenges this season after losing key hitters but relies on ace Robbie O’Connor and senior leadership to guide the team. As these teams launch their seasons, integrating new talent and overcoming prior losses will be critical to their success.
