Red Raiders baseball fills the stands for the 12th straight year. Discover the returning stars and explosive newcomers fueling this fan frenzy.
If you needed proof that Texas Tech Red Raiders baseball has become one of the sport’s most reliable draws, it's here. Season tickets are officially sold out ... for the 12th straight year.
That kind of streak doesn’t happen by accident. It’s the result of consistent winning, star power, and a fan base that has fully embraced college baseball as a marquee event in Lubbock.
With another loaded roster and a compelling home schedule on the way, demand once again outpaced supply well before the first pitch of the season.
For fans who missed out on season tickets, there’s still hope.
Single-game tickets for the entire 2026 campaign will be available beginning Monday, and with 32 home games on the slate, there will be plenty of opportunities to catch the Red Raiders at Rip Griffin Park.
The home schedule offers a little of everything.
Non-conference action includes a marquee weekend series against Penn State, while midweek matchups against regional foes UTSA and Dallas Baptist should bring postseason-level intensity.
Big 12 play at home features Kansas, West Virginia, and Oklahoma State - games that could have real conference implications by April.
A big reason for the buzz is the returning core.
Under head coach Tim Tadlock, Texas Tech brings back two of the most productive bats in the Big 12. Logan Hughes enters the season as one of the league’s premier power threats after leading the conference in home runs a year ago.
His combination of pop and consistency has already put him firmly on the MLB Draft radar.
Alongside, Robin Villeneuve provides balance and on-base reliability. Villeneuve’s ability to reach base, drive the gaps, and punish mistakes makes him a nightmare matchup and a perfect complement in the middle of the order.
What separates the 2026 Red Raiders from simply being good to potentially dangerous is the influx of newcomers. Texas Tech has aggressively supplemented its lineup with proven JUCO standouts and high-upside freshmen.
Catcher Matt Quintanar arrives after a dominant junior college season marked by elite contact skills and strike-zone control.
Hollis Porter adds left-handed power with experience against top-tier competition, while Caden Ferraro brings a track record of production and postseason success.
Freshman Linkin Garcia rounds out the group as one of the most intriguing young hitters in the country, already earning national attention before stepping on campus.
Put it all together - returning stars, impact additions, and a relentless home crowd - and it’s easy to see why tickets disappear so quickly.
Texas Tech baseball isn’t just selling out games. It’s setting expectations.
