Texas has a great opportunity to turn the tide with a 14-game home stand in front of them.
The 2023 Texas baseball season has not gotten off to a pretty start. Growing pains and offensive struggles are apparent as the Longhorns sit with a 4-7 record through 11 games.
Close games have been the difference early on for Texas. The Horns are 0-4 in one-run ballgames, including an extra-innings loss to drop the series against Cal State Fullerton on Sunday.
David Pierce is still waiting for his players to establish roles in both the lineup and the bullpen. We have seen flashes of good pitching performances, but consistency is missing.
Texas has an excellent opportunity to turn the tide with a 14-game home stand in front of them. The Longhorns host a pair of midweek games against Sam Houston and Mercer to get things going.
Stacking both wins and confidence is going to be essential for Texas before Big 12 Conference play begins. The young Longhorns roster needs to catch up to the speed of the game in a hurry.

Lucas Gordon gets the ball on Friday night.
Texas opens the 2023 college baseball season this weekend with a trip to Arlington for the College Baseball Showdown.
The Longhorns take on future SEC foes Arkansas, Missouri and Vanderbilt to start the new year.
Texas is going to be a new-look squad after sending eight players to the 2022 MLB Draft. David Pierce announced the expected pitching rotation we will see on opening weekend.
Lucas Gordon gets the ball on Friday night after a breakout campaign in 2022. Gordon provided much-needed stability in the rotation last season after the injury to Tanner Witt in March. He held a 7-2 record and a team-best 3.16 ERA.
Morehouse is a high-upside arm who took big strides in the offseason. He started six games holding a 6.00 ERA last year. Morehouse brings in a mid-90s fastball with a wipeout slider to the mound. Control and consistency are two keys for the righty this spring.
Sthele is a player who gained some experience in big moments for the Longhorns down the stretch last season. He made starts in the Big 12 Tournament championship and Austin Regional final.
Here is a look at the schedule for the College Baseball Showdown:
