Sooner Trio of Pitchers Back

Share on RSS

 

All three of OU’s freshman starting pitchers who helped propel the Sooners to a national championship in baseball earlier this month will be returning to Norman next spring.

Sooner baseball announced on social media this week that the postseason trio of Cord Rager, Xander Mercurious and Nick Wesloski are all going to be back for 2027.

A pretty good base for Oklahoma to try to run back another trip to Omaha.

Combined Rager, Mercurious and Wesloski combined for six starts, 31.1 innings and allowed only 12 earned runs en route to the program’s first title since 1994 and first men’s team national championship as a school since 2017.
