Trent Pratt Previews BYU Baseball’s Big 12 Season | Ready to Take the Next Step

Dave McCann and Blaine Fowler welcome Trent Pratt as BYU baseball prepares to open its third season in the Big 12, with Opening Day just days away. Pratt reflects on last season’s growth, including a Big 12 Tournament win over Arizona State, and explains why this year’s veteran-heavy roster believes it can take the next step toward postseason play. One of the biggest storylines is preparation. Thanks to an unusually warm winter, BYU has spent every January practice outdoors, something Pratt says has been a huge boost for player morale and development. With returning starters across the infield and outfield, Pratt emphasizes continuity, experience, and defensive reliability as strengths heading into the season. Pitching depth is another focal point. Pratt details offseason coaching changes, the addition of experienced pitching coaches, and why this staff is deeper, healthier, and more versatile than a year ago. He highlights returning arms like Justice Riser and Garrison Sumner, while explaining how analytics, technology, and expanded facilities are helping pitchers take measurable steps forward. The interview closes with Pratt outlining clear expectations: BYU believes it should be playing in an NCAA Regional this season. With improved resources, Big 12 exposure, and growing recruiting momentum, Pratt says the program is positioned to compete nationally while continuing to build toward long-term success. #BYUBaseball #GoCougs #Ysguys #Big12Baseball #CollegeBaseball #CougarNation #BYUSports #MillerPark #BYUAthletics #BYU #LDS Timestamps (approximate): 03:15 — Outdoor practices and warm winter benefits 05:18 — Lessons from the Big 12 Tournament run 06:55 — Pitching depth and coaching changes 09:46 — Returning players and defensive strengths 11:27 — New facilities, analytics, and player development 14:04 — Expectations: making an NCAA Regional 16:21 — Season opener, schedule, and Big 12 preparation
