If you think Ivy League baseball is all suits and study halls, think again. The Princeton Tigers are proving they can swing with the best of them. As the 2025 season hits its stride, the Tigers are battling their way through conference play with a never-back-down mindset—and some serious flashes of promise.

Following a gritty 18–26 finish in 2024, Princeton’s 2025 squad (currently sitting at 12–30, 8–12 in Ivy play) has shown sparks of brilliance. Key wins over Dartmouth and a 1–0 shutout of Harvard are reminders that this group can play. Rising stars like infielder Jake Koonin and freshman Nick Shenefelt are heating up, and there's a growing energy around this team that feels like it's building toward something bigger.
