The Indiana Hoosiers baseball team kicked off their season in Surprise, Arizona to participate in the Sanderson Ford College Baseball Classic. The event features Oregon State, Indiana, UNLV and Xavier, through February 14-17, 2025.

The Hoosiers came in at No. 25 in the NCBWA pre-sesaon poll after going 33-26-1 overall last season with a 15-9 record in Big Ten play. Indiana earned an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament, playing in the Knoxville Regional in 2024.

Indiana was defeated by the UNLV Rebels 4-2, in the season opener of the College Baseball Classic.

Indiana scored all four of their runs in the first inning of the game, with Dean Toigo delivering a grand slam to kick off his career at UNLV. Those 4 runs were all UNLV needed to win, after a tight pitchers duel in the valley.
