WKU Baseball: Roster Tracker for 2024

The debut of the Marc Rardin era in Bowling Green was an unequivocal success as the program had its best season since 2011. Now comes the fun part building on the momentum from the 2023 success and trying to return to the NCAA tournament for the first time since 2009. As Rardin enters his second season expect alot of turnover as he continues to raise the talent level and get more of his guys into the program.

Below is a comprehensive tracker (after WKU posted their fall ball roster) of all the players entering and leaving the Hilltopper program ahead of the 2024 season.. Reminder that baseball only has 11.7 scholarships they they can divide up to the entire roster (there were 35 players on the 2023 roster). Baseball is a definitely harder to track compared to basketball or football as there is less information out there but we’ll update as soon as news breaks on a player joining or leaving the program.
