The VMI Keydets begin their 2026 baseball season with an exciting opener against the Delaware State Hornets. Under the leadership of head coach Sam Roberts, who has achieved over 25 wins per season for the last three years, the team is striving for further success. Known for their speed on the bases, the Keydets posted a record 209 stolen bases last season, earning them the NCAA Division I title in that category.
The return of experienced players to the lineup gives the Keydets an added advantage. Seven of the nine players from last year’s starting lineup are back, giving the team a solid foundation. Last season, VMI scored 10+ runs in 24 games, giving them wins in 22 of those games. This offensive strength will also be a decisive factor in the new season.
Delaware State, on the other hand, finished last season with just seven wins, highlighting the challenge facing the Hornets. Their pitching ace Michael Lane, who impressed with a 2.52 ERA in seven games, will try to keep the Keydets at bay. But the team’s defensive weaknesses and low strike rate could be their downfall.
The Keydets have made a splash not only on the field, but also in the record books. Grayson Fitzwater, a standout, is closing in on the all-time record for home runs and was named the SoCon Preseason Player of the Year. These individual successes contribute to the team’s high motivation to start the season with a strong start.
