The College Baseball Showdown is headed to Globe Life Field in Arlington, TX, and the Missouri Tigers will be there.

The Tigers will play from February 17 – 19 and face some old Big 12 foes, including Oklahoma State, Texas, and TCU. Oklahoma State has some Missouri ties. St. Louis Cardinals Hall of Famer, Matt Holliday is the hitting and out fielding coach for the Oklahoma State Cowboys.

The Tigers can only go up from 2022, and what a way to start the season. A chance to play in front of a large audience, in person and online/stream. Where-to-watch details can be found below. The Tigers are coming off a last place season in the SEC, finishing 15-36 and 8-22 in the conference. A truly forgettable season for the Tigers which was by far the worst in the conference. The Tigers finished the 2022 campaign with ten less wins than the next closest team, Auburn.

The Tigers open 2023 against three teams that had strong 2022 seasons. Mizzou will need to be much better to avoid opening the season 0-3. The Tigers opponents in the College Baseball Showcase:

2022 Division 1: Record – Top 25 Ranking

Texas: 47 – 22 – 8th in the country

TCU: 38 – 22 – 23rd in the country

OK St: 42 – 22 – 17th in the country
