Cochise Baseball Set for 2025 Fall Exhibition Season

DOUGLAS, Ariz. — The Cochise College Baseball team will hit the diamond this fall with a busy slate of exhibition games designed to prepare the Apaches for the 2026 spring campaign. With over 20 new faces on the roster, head coach Todd Inglehart will use the fall season as a crucial evaluation period to determine his final spring roster.

September Opener at Home

The Apaches begin their fall exhibition schedule on Saturday, September 20, hosting BNL (Baseball's Next Level) at 11:00 a.m. in Douglas. It will be the first opportunity for Inglehart and his staff to see the new-look squad in live competition.

The exhibition season concludes with a marquee home doubleheader against Pima Community College on Friday, November 7, at 11:00 a.m. in Douglas.

Building Toward Spring 2026

While the fall slate is officially exhibition-only, it carries major significance for the program. With so many fresh faces, Coach Inglehart is focused on finding the right combinations and establishing team identity.

By November, the Apaches aim to have a clear sense of their strengths, depth, and potential leaders heading into the 2026 Spring season, when results begin to count toward standings and postseason aspirations.
