• FR CF Jared McKenzie was outstanding in the season-opening weekend, leading the team with a .571 average with a team-high eight hits, including two doubles and three RBIs over the three games. He reached base in 9-of-17 plate appearances.

• Baylor has finished its home schedule with a .500 record or better in all 20 seasons at Baylor Ballpark (since 1999) and is 459-205 all-time at the park after starting off the 2020 season 3-1 at home.
