IDAHO STATE BENGALS BASEBALL
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Idaho State University's baseball program, based in Pocatello among the 12,614-student campus established in 1901, competes in the Big Sky Conference as an NCAA Division I-FCS team. The Bengals fielded a 75-player roster for the 2025 spring season, operating out of Thomas Stadium as their home facility while navigating the competitive landscape of their conference schedule.
In early-season competition, Idaho State's offense struggled significantly, averaging just 5.0 points per game while surrendering 7.0 points per contest in their initial outing. The team's early 0-1 record came on the road, setting up critical opportunities to establish competitive footing at home and within Big Sky Conference play. With a full roster depth of 75 athletes, the Bengals have substantial human resources to develop consistency in both offensive execution and defensive performance as the season progresses through spring competition.
