Transfer-portal season is here for NCAA baseball and softball, and both Arizona squads are expected to be active participants in this year’s cycle.
The portal for baseball officially opened June 1; for softball, it opened June 8.
Arizona's Corey Kling delivers a pitch at Grand Canyon on April 28, 2026. Kling did not allow a run and struck out three in 2⅓ innings.
Players from both UA teams have announced their intentions through social media, and additional names are emerging via D1Baseball.com, D1Softball.com and other media sources. We will keep you updated on all the comings and goings throughout the spring and summer.
