Tarleton State turned a 24–32 spring in 2025 into a 38–21 WAC championship season in 2026, Fuller Smith's fourth at the helm in Stephenville. On the Baseball Forward podcast after that title run, Smith said the staff keeps things as loose as possible so players can enjoy the biggest moments, asks how much they can "empty the tank" in everything they do, and has become more careful about fit with the players it takes. Families weighing a 36-player roster should expect heavy turnover, led by 10 pitchers exhausting eligibility.
