Auburn earns one of the top NCAA baseball seeds, faces a loaded regional featuring NC State, Stetson, and red-hot Central Connecticut in a tough opener.
Auburn baseball’s 2025 season didn’t just redeem last year’s disappointment — it redefined what this program is capable of. After finishing at the bottom of the SEC in 2024, the Tigers surged back into national relevance, beginning with a stunning opening series win over Vanderbilt and culminating in a No. 4 national seed. It’s Auburn’s first top-eight placement since 2003 and perhaps the clearest sign that this year’s roster could be one for the ages. But with contenders like NC State, Stetson, and Central Connecticut rolling into Plainsman Park, the path to Omaha is anything but guaranteed.
