In his first season as head coach, Sabins led WVU to a program-record 44 wins and a Big 12 regular season title. In the postseason, the Mountaineers swept the NCAA Clemson Regional and advanced to the NCAA Super Regionals for the second consecutive season. A number of players earned accolades including All-Big 12 first team for catcher Logan Sauve and pitcher Griffin Kirn. Sauve and Kirn were two of five players drafted after the season along with outfielder Kyle West, pitcher Robby Porco, and outfielder Skylar King.
During Sabins’ tenure in Morgantown, the Mountaineers have produced record-setting numbers offensively, while also bringing in the highest-ranked recruiting classes in program history. That includes the 2018 class, ranked No. 21 nationally – the Mountaineers’ first top-25 recruiting class ever. A year later, the 2019 class added to the program’s momentum, checking in at No. 23 nationally, marking the first time WVU signed back-to-back top-25 classes.

Grove became the fourth Mountaineer ever picked in the top two rounds and is WVU’s highest draft pick since 2010.
Sabins helped lead WVU to record-breaking success in 2017, highlighted by an NCAA Tournament appearance. After going 36-26 and finishing fourth in the highly competitive Big 12 Conference, the Mountaineers earned an NCAA Tournament berth for the first time since 1996 and the 12th time in program history.
Sophomore designated hitter/right-handed pitcher Braden Zarbnisky headlined a long list of national and conference postseason honors in 2017. He was named to the NCBWA All-America Third Team, becoming the 17th All-American in team history. Zarbnisky also was named the NCBWA District II Player of the Year, a John Olerud Two-Way Player of the Year Award finalist and to the All-Big 12 First Team.

Two players were drafted following the 2017 season, as Davis was picked by the eventual World Series Champion Houston Astros in the 15th round and senior Jackson Cramer was selected in the 35th round by the Washington Nationals. Sabins’ first season with the Mountaineers was a memorable one, as WVU posted a 36-22 record and advanced to its first ever Big 12 Championship Game. West Virginia closed the year as one of the hottest teams in the country, winning 17 of its last 21 games.
With one of the youngest starting lineups in the country, Sabins helped guide the WVU to its best offensive numbers since joining the Big 12 Conference in 2013. The Mountaineers’ batting average (.287), RBIs (312), runs scored (341), doubles (116), triples (21), total bases (847), slugging percentage (.432), walks (240), on-base percentage (.370) and strikeout-to-walk ratio (1.58) were all their best since moving to the Big 12.

The West Virginia baseball team plays in one of the premier collegiate baseball venues in the country, Wagener Field at Kendrick Family Ballpark. The 3,500-capacity ballpark features state-of-the-art fan and player amenities.
In what was touted as one of the best collaboration efforts seen in the state of West Virginia, Kendrick Family Ballpark opened its doors in 2015. The $21-million ballpark is arguably the top facility in the region and the clubhouse amenities rivals those in Major League Baseball.
Kendrick Family Ballpark received brand new turf ahead of the 2024 seasons, a synthetic surface to accommodate severe weather and heavy use The mound was also replaced with a synthetic surface after using a clay pitchers mound since opening. The dimensions are 325 feet down the left and right field lines, 375 feet to the power alleys and 400 to center field.
The venue features 2,500 permanent seatbacks and can be expanded to hold 3,500 fans with standing room areas. All seats are protected by netting that provides an unobstructed view for all fans.
The ballpark took on Rick and Jay Wagener’s namesake on Aug. 30, 2021, following a major gift donation to the program. Rick Wagener was a standout pitcher at WVU from 1968-71. Following a gift from WVU Alum and owner of the Arizona Diamondbacks, Ken Kendrick, the facility was renamed Kendrick Family Ballpark in 2024.
There are three different areas to enter the ballpark and two ticket booths, while the concourse features a team shop, two concession areas, public restrooms and a large party deck that supports numerous standalone vendors.
Along with a high-definition scoreboard and videoboard aded in 2025 and a state-of-the-art
lighting system, Monongalia County Ballpark is one of top collegiate baseball facility in the country.
Just beyond the right field fence serves as the everyday home for the Mountaineers, with clubhouse amenities rivaling those in Major League Baseball. The building features a player’s locker room with full-size lockers, coaches’ locker room and offices, player’s lounge, team theater, indoor and outdoor batting cages, a fully-equipped athletic training room and equipment room. A state-of-the-art indoor Biomechanics and Performance Center featuring two batting cages and three pitching lanes opened in 2025.
The press box features three luxury suites with highend finishes and indoor/outdoor seating, a spacious television booth, three radio booths, a 20-seat press area, a video control room and numerous booths for game operations.
The Mountaineers opened Kendrick Family Ballpark with a 6-5, 13-inning victory against Butler on April 10, 2015. WVU owns a 162-80 record in the venue entering the 2026 season.
WVU has experienced record-setting attendance numbers each year in the new ballpark, most notably during an exciting 2025 sesaon. The support of Mountaineer Nation was certainly felt, as the total attendance and average attendance records both were broken, highlighted by a single-game record crowd of 4,629 on April 2, against Pitt. Eight of the top 25 atttended games took place in 2025 and an additional seven more in 2023.
Kendrick Family Ballpark was named the BaseballParks.com Ballpark of the Year for 2015. The annual award recognizes a new or remodeled stadium with the best combination of site selection, exterior appearance, architectural design and fan amenities.

WVU PRESIDENT MICHAEL T. BENSON
Michael T. Benson, a veteran higher education administrator, became the 27th president of West Virginia University on July 15, 2025. He brings three decades of academic and administrative experience in higher education to his role leading West Virginia’s flagship, land-grant, R1 institution into a new era.
WVU is Benson’s fifth presidency. Prior to his arrival at Coastal Carolina in 2021, Benson led Snow College, Southern Utah University, and Eastern Kentucky University. During his tenure at Coastal Carolina, Benson secured a $10 million gift, the largest in the school’s history. He worked closely with community partners and policymakers to advance initiatives there, including the successful renewal of a local option penny sales tax to support public and higher education through the year 2039, the only tax of its kind in all of South Carolina.
In 2024, under his leadership, Coastal Carolina enrolled its largest number of students ever - 11,225 - while also setting a record retention rate.
As the 14th president of Snow College in Ephraim, Utah, he helped raise more private money for the institution during his tenure than had been secured in the previous 115 years of the college’s history combined.
Appointed at age 36, Benson was the youngest college president in the history of the Utah System of Higher Education.
Benson has also held faculty appointments at the University of Utah, the University of Notre Dame, and Johns Hopkins University, and has taught at each institution where he served as president, including Coastal Carolina where he was a professor of history.
His scholarly work has focused on the development of the research university and its impact on society. Benson’s book, “Daniel Coit Gilman and the Birth of the American Research University,” was released by Johns Hopkins University Press in 2022. He was a visiting professor in the Department of the History of Science and Technology at Johns Hopkins in 2020. Benson’s biography of Gilman was named to the list of Best Higher
Education Books of 2023 by Forbes magazine.
Benson is also the author of “Harry S.

WVU VICE PRESIDENT/DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS WREN BAKER
Wren Baker has changed the face of West Virginia University Athletics. He has reenergized the department and set it up for long-term success in the ever-changing world of college athletics. Whether it’s coaching searches, facility master plans, revenue sharing or a modern, business-like approach to Name, Image and Likeness, Baker has faced every challenge head on and has never looked back. He has brought new thinking and confidence to WVU Athletics, and his reputation across the country is secondto-none.
Baker is a high-energy leader, and Mountaineer success has been contagious in competition and in the classroom. Conference championships, NCAA appearances and a national championship have been followed by strong academic achievement for Mountaineer student-athletes, eclipsing previous department GPA highs. Under Baker, WVU has also turned in record fundraising numbers as his forward thinking and strategic planning are geared to bringing future success and revenue stability to the state’s Land-Grant Institution.
Memphis, Northwest Missouri and Rogers State, he brought more than 20 years of experience to WVU.
Baker was an instant hit with WVU fans. In his first year in Morgantown, he traveled the state to learn its culture, geography, and history. He has met and listened to Mountaineer fans from all over the world and immersed himself on what it means to be a proud West Virginian. The results of his approach and work ethic speak volumes as the West Virginia Mountaineers continue to be a national brand. Despite accomplishing so much in a short period of time, Baker’s plate is still full. Continued revenue generation, launching an NIL full-service business agency for student-athlete advancement and premium seating options in his two major sports venues are still on his radar for the coming year. His endless energy never stops moving WVU forward.
Then WVU President E. Gordon Gee named Baker as WVU’s vice president and director of intercollegiate athletics on Nov. 30, 2022. He has oversight of 18 varsity sports, a department budget of more than $90 million, approximately 250 employees and nearly 500 studentathletes.
