Andy Stankiewicz discusses future of USC baseball after breakthrough season
USC baseball certainly appears to be on the upswing right now. The Trojans are coming off of a season in which they made the NCAS Tournament for the first time in a decade. With head coach Andy Stankiewicz at the helm, the program appears to be in good hands heading into 2026 and beyond.
Recently, Stankiewicz spoke to Ryan Kartje of The Los Angeles Times about the program's future outlook.
'The foundation is built,' Stankiewicz said. 'It's solid. We've got pieces in place where we can now start to build it even taller.
'This is a program that's been to Omaha a lot. The expectation is that we'll get back to that, and our guys have to understand that. This wasn't enough. It was good. Well done. Nice job. But this can't be what this program is about. It has to be about going to the next step, and the next step is winning a regional, winning a Super, getting to Omaha.'
Next season, the Trojans will return to campus and play their home games at the newly renovated Dedeaux Field. In a way, it feels like a fitting metaphor for the program as Stankiewicz looks to usher in a new age of USC baseball championships.
