The Gophers’ home opener at U.S. Bank Stadium is Saturday Feb. 22 vs. TCU, a run that will begin 14 straight games at the home of the Vikings.

The Gophers’ home opener on campus at Siebert Field is Friday, April 3 vs. Rutgers.

The Gophers have a strong pitching staff led by junior Max Meyer (Woodbury HS). Many mock drafts have him as a 1st round pick in the June MLB Draft. Meyer is also one of the Gophers’ top hitters, and he’ll continue in that role as a designated hitter days when he’s not on the mound.
