Stanford Baseball Head Coach David Esquer on ACC Play, Roster Growth & 2026 Season Outlook

In this episode of The College Baseball Show Coach's Corner, we’re joined by David Esquer, head coach of Stanford Cardinal, for an in-depth conversation ahead of the 2026 season. Esquer reflects on his journey from Stanford player to head coach, the program’s cultural foundation, and what a full year of development means for young stars like Rintaro Sasaki and Tatum Marsh. He dives into Stanford’s roster construction, senior leadership, pitching staff evolution, and lessons learned from the program’s first season in the ACC. Esquer also breaks down home-field expectations at Sunken Diamond, postseason aspirations, and what it truly takes to compete for Omaha in today’s college baseball landscape.
