Looking to win its sixth American Conference Championship and play in its first NCAA Regional tournament since 2018 before heading to the Big 12 Conference, the UH baseball team is oozing confidence ahead of its 2023 season debut.
“We might be predicted second (in the conference), but I think it’s our conference to lose this year,” said senior shortstop Ian McMilllan, one of seven returning starters for the Cougars.
The Cougars went 37-24 overall and 13-11 in-conference in 2022, going all the way to the conference championship game, losing 6-1 to first-place East Carolina. Hoping to build on that result is a team that head coach Todd Whitting said is likely the most well-equipped team he has ever had.
