Based on the schedules I've received, the 2025 college baseball season begins for South Carolina teams two weeks from today when USC Salkehatchie plays host to Walters State at 4 p.m. Jan. 24!
I've spent the past few days tracking down schedules and am in the process of editing them into the calendar shown at the bottom of the page.
I have the majority of games for every team except Bob Jones, which has yet to post a schedule on its Website. It hasn't officially announced the promotion of Kyle Morrison to head coach, either, but does have it listed on the roster.

The SEC hasn't revealed starting times for its conference games, and College of Charleston and USC Upstate haven't seen fit to announce any of their first pitch times with just 35 days until NCAA Division I teams start their seasons.
Here are a few nuggets I've found so far. I'm sure there will be more, and I'll note them as I come across them.
* As announced last year, Clemson opens its season at the Shriners Children's College Classic in Arlington, Texas, playing Oklahoma State, Arizona and Ole Miss Feb. 14-16.
* The Tigers play host to the Clemson Invitational Feb. 21-23 with VCU and North Carolina A&T in town. A&T is coached by former Clemson player and student assistant coach Ben Hall. One of the Aggies' assistants is former Coker pitcher Forrest Arnold.
* North Greenville plays four games in Hawaii Feb. 6-9, playing Hawaii Pacific three times and Chaminade once.
* Claflin has tournaments for its first two weekends: the HBCU Battle of the Divisions Jan.31-Feb. 2 in New Orleans and the Willie Mays Rickwood Classic in Birmingham Feb. 7-9.
* Spartanburg Methodist begins its first season as a four-year school, competing in NAIA. It has a Feb. 7-8 series at Abraham Baldwin, which also has transitioned from junior college status for 2025.
* Coastal Carolina again opens its season hosting the Baseball at the Beach Tournament with St. Joseph's, Kansas State and Washington Feb. 14-17. The following weekend, the Chanticleers compete in the Jax College Baseball Classic in Jacksonville, joining Alabama, Ohio State and N.C. State.
* South Carolina plays North Carolina at Truist Field in Charlotte March 25. The Gamecocks make their lone appearance at Fluor Field in Greenville March 1 in the middle game of the Clemson series.
* Former Wofford coach Todd Interdonato brings his Boston College squad to Spartanburg to open its season against USC Upstate Feb. 14-16.
* In case you're wondering, no, Furman is not fielding a team again this season. Millions of dollars to renovate Timmons Arena for basketball, but it can't find enough to restore baseball.
