Yale Athletics

Members of the Yale baseball class of 2025 have been through it all. They underwent a head coaching change after the retirement of legendary John Stuper following their first-year season, and they toiled through two losing seasons in 2023 and 2024.

Yet, time and again, this ten-member class has shown its resiliency. Led this year by senior captain Colton Shaw ’25, the team has improved its win total in each of the past three seasons, hitting 30 wins in the 2025 campaign. The Bulldogs secured a share of the 2025 Ivy League Title for the first time since 2018.

“To be able to see this program grow from what it was four years ago to what it is now has been really special,” Shaw told the News. “It’s been an honor being a part of the culture shift and being able to play a small part in restoring Yale baseball back to where it belongs.”
