2025 RMAC Preseason Coaches' Poll
 
COLORADO SPRINGS – The Colorado School of Mines Baseball team was voted fifth in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Preseason Coaches' Poll released Wednesday afternoon.
 
The ballots from all nine head coaches in the league provided the Orediggers 37 points, just seven shy of #4 CSU Pueblo. Colorado Mesa earned the top spot on the list with 64 points and eight first-place votes. Regis claimed the remaining first-place vote and totaled 56 points to slot second. MSU Denver was third thanks to 48 points. Rounding out the bottom four in order were UCCS, Adams State, Colorado Christian, and New Mexico Highlands. Coaches could not vote for their own team.
 
Mines finished the 2024 season 29-21 overall while going 20-12 in RMAC play. That tied the Orediggers with Regis for #2 in the conference standings. For the 2025 season, sixth-year head coach Robby Bales brings back 22 players with on-field experience in a Mines uniform. Topping that list as RMAC Players to Watch are Mason Andrews, Alex Honeyman, and Tyler Pina who were All-RMAC last season. Also notable is outfielder Jackson Woolwine who was Honorable Mention All-RMAC in 2024.
 
Bales and the Orediggers open their 2025 campaign on Friday, Jan. 31, at Southwestern Oklahoma State in Weatherford, Okla. A full schedule preview will be released at www.minesathletics.com in the coming weeks.
