Cowboy Baseball 2018 - The Outfield - Oklahoma State University Athletics

Oklahoma State opens the 2018 season Friday with a three-game road series against Texas State in San Marcos, Texas.

OSU is coming off a season in which it captured the 2017 Big 12 Championship title, which crowned the Cowboys as conference champions for the 32^nd time in their storied history. The Pokes went 4-0 at the Big 12 Championship to become the first team to ever win the Big 12 tourney as a No. 8 seed.

The 2018 season will mark OSU's sixth under the direction of head coach Josh Holiday, who has led his alma mater to five NCAA Regional appearances and a top-two finish in the Big 12 standings four times.

With the season right around the corner, we're taking a look at the Cowboys' roster heading into 2018. We'll break down the roster by position, and we're highlighting the outfield in this edition.
