Previous season

The Patriots are coming off a 40–21 (20–10) season, where they qualified as the second-overall seed for the 2025 Atlantic 10 Conference baseball tournament. There, the Patriots went 4–2, losing in the final to Rhode Island.[2] George Mason did not receive an at-large berth into the 2025 NCAA Division I baseball tournament.

In addition to Quinn-Irons, shortstop Owen Clyne and starting pitchers, Brandon Cassedy and Connor O'Hara were named to the all-Atlantic 10 first team.[5] Designated hitter, Owen Hull, was named to the All-Atlantic 10 second team. Lucas Alberti and Andrew Raymond were named to the All-Rookie team while Gardner Meeks, and O'Hara were named to the All-Academic team.[6]
