Though no longer Big 12 rivals, the programs know each other well. Oklahoma enters its second SEC season after going 38-22 last year, while Texas Tech looks to rebound from a 20-33 campaign. 

With both teams picked near the bottom of their leagues, Opening Day carries early significance.

Texas Tech vs. Oklahoma Baseball Pitching Matchup

Cameron Johnson will get the start for the home team Sooners while Jackson Burns will pitch for the Red Raiders. 

Johnson, a lefty junior, is one of the top pitchers in the country according to D1 Baseball and went 2-0 with a 5.57 ERA in 21 innings last season in 10 appearances and seven starts. Burns, a sophomore, pitched just .2 innings last year during opening weekend and missed the rest of the year. 

Both pitchers are tall with matching 6-foot-6-inch frames. Johnson is also 256 pound and looks like he should be rushing the quarterback. 

Texas Tech vs Oklahoma Prediction

Both teams are unranked in the D1 Baseball poll, but OU is No. 19 in one poll to start the season. The edge may be with the Sooners in Game 1. 

Texas Tech Baseball Top Prospects Is Logan Hughes, OF 

Hughes, a 6-foot, 185-pound outfielder, began his career at Stetson before transferring to Texas Tech, where he hit 19 home runs in a breakout 2025 season. 

A strong left-handed hitter, he combines contact skills with power to all fields, and his underlying batted-ball data ranks among the best in the class. He profiles as a corner outfielder with some first-base experience.

Oklahoma Baseball Top Prospect Is Jaxon Willits, SS

Jaxon Willits, a 6-foot-1, 185-pound switch-hitting shortstop at Oklahoma, has been the Sooners’ everyday starter since arriving on campus. Over two seasons, he has hit .286/.394/.490 with 19 home runs and 21 doubles. 

He also impressed in a 13-game Cape Cod League stint, batting .366/.534/.488. Stronger from the left side, Willits pairs solid-average tools, polished swing decisions and steady defense with enough arm strength to remain at shortstop.

When Is Oklahoma Baseball vs. Texas Tech First Pitch?

The first pitch is schedule for noon ET at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas. Its first of a triple header on Friday and the first of nine games on Opening Weekend.
