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 opens June 8.
Arizona's Jenna Sniffen flings her bat after drawing a bases-loaded walk to drive in a run in the bottom of the third inning against Duke on May 17, 2026, in the NCAA Tournament's Durham Regional in Durham, N.C. The Blue Devils won 8-6 to force a deciding game.
Players from both UA teams already have announced their intentions through social media, and additional names are emerging via D1Baseball.com and other media sources. We will keep you updated on all the comings and goings throughout the spring and summer.
