USC Trojans Baseball: Dominating the 2026 Season with Pitcher Mason Edwards Leading the Charge
The USC Trojans baseball team has had an impressive start to the 2026 season with a record of 23-1. Pitcher Mason Edwards has been outstanding, boasting 64 strikeouts in 36 innings with an impressive ERA of 0.25. Edwards, a left-handed junior, has a perfect 5-0 record this season.
Ranked No. 13 in the NCAA Baseball Top 25, USC is set to face the Washington Huskies on March 22. A win in this game could potentially boost their ranking even higher. USC has already dominated the first two games of the series against Washington, with Edwards leading the charge in the 5-0 victory.
Following the series against the Huskies, USC will take on the Oregon State Beavers on March 24. Oregon State, currently ranked No. 17, is known for its strong baseball program and has been a tough opponent for USC in the past.
Despite a rich history in college baseball, USC has not won a College World Series since 1998. The team made it to the NCAA Tournament in 2025 after a decade-long drought but was eliminated by Oregon State in the regional round. USC is aiming to make a strong comeback in the 2026 season and secure a spot in the tournament once again.
