2025 Big Ten Baseball Tournament bracket, pools, schedule set
Iowa baseball's 2025 regular season came to a close on Saturday with a 13-4 loss against No. 7 Oregon. The Hawkeyes ended their regular season with a 32-20-1 (21-9 Big Ten) mark.
After its sweep of the Hawkeyes, Oregon shared the Big Ten regular season title with UCLA. But, the Ducks earned the No. 1 seed courtesy of their April series victory over UCLA.
The Big Ten Baseball Tournament has a new format in 2025. Twelve teams advanced to the Big Ten Tournament from Charles Schwab Field Omaha and they will begin play in four three-team pools. The four pool winners will then advance to the single-elimination semifinals on May 24, followed by the championship game on May 25.
If multiple teams go 1-1 in their respective pools, the higher-seeded team automatically advances.
Iowa earned the No. 3 seed and is in Pool C with No. 6 seed Indiana (31-23, 16-14 Big Ten) and No. 10 seed Rutgers (28-27, 15-15 Big Ten). The Hawkeyes took two of three games from Rutgers in their series from March 7-9 and swept Indiana in their series from April 25-27.
