Spartan promise, plateau or one last push? SJSU baseball’s 2026 season nears a defining final weekend

San Jose State baseball is approaching a defining final weekend of the 2026 season, which has been characterized as a series of near-misses. The Spartans entered the year with cautious optimism following a strong 2025 campaign under coach Brad Sanfilippo that revived postseason expectations, but have faced limitations within the Mountain West Conference. Pitcher David Thomas provided a highlight with a seven-inning win against Washington State on April 2, 2026, as the team now faces a critical stretch to determine its postseason fate.
