Leading the charge for the incoming transfers is Florida Gulf Coast University shortstop Wilfred Gonzalez, who officially became Mizzou’s first portal commitment on Wednesday, June 3. The Miami, Fla., Gonzalez brings an elite bat to the Tigers’ lineup after putting together a stellar season for the Eagles.

He managed to bat an impressive .323 while racking up 74 hits, 11 doubles, 2 home runs and 30 RBIs. As an incoming senior, Gonzalez provides Mizzou with a a heavy approach that will hopefully translate well against elite SEC arms.

Securing a capable infielder will be the first vital step in rebuilding from what has been lost. This ultimately proves that the Tigers are moving in the right direction to reload just as fast as they lose talent.

We’ll be using this landing page to provide all the additions to the Tigers’ roster.

The Tigers added to their pitching staff with the addition of the redshirt junior Carter DeGondea from Georgia Southern. He was heavily used last season by the Eagles this season, making 16 appearances and per team data, throwing the second-most innings on the team (58).

DeGondea finished his 2026 campaign with a 1-5 record and a 8.69 ERA over 14 starts. He struck out 57 batters including seven in his season-best performance against Troy on Mar. 28. DeGondea also allowed just one hit across five innings of work in that outing and conceded zero earned runs.

Having lost a multitude of pitchers to the portal thus far, DeGondea provides an addition for Missouri to what has been a consistent subtraction of arms in the Tigers’ summer portal thus far.

The Tigers continue to thrive in the portal by locking down their third newest transfer commitment, New Mexico State junior first baseman and designated hitter Steve Solorzano.

Bringing a lethal bat and extensive arm to Columbia, Solorzano joins the squad after a memorable year with the Aggies, highlighted by a CUSA First Team selection in 2025. With over 132 career starts, he has proven to be an absolute weapon against opposing pitching, highlighted by a dominant 2026 season where he led his team at .341 with 78 hits, nine home runs and 51 RBIs.

As an added bonus, Solorzano made three pitching appearances where he tossed five innings out of the bullpen. By adding another producer right after securing an infielder and pitcher, the Tigers are sending a roaring message to the rest of the conference.

Arkansas High graduate Ty Waid is heading to Missouri to continue his baseball career, rejoining the SEC after a brief appearance at Arkansas and a couple years at the JUCO level.

The Tiger officially picked up the right-handed pitcher and utility player from Weatherford College on May 30th in the transfer portal (we didn’t see it until 6/11, apologies), following a notable 2026 season where Waid batted .368 with 28 home runs and 88 RBIs. His lethal ability at the plate combined with his valuable defensive was precisely what Mizzou needed as they continue to shape their current roster.

The Tigers’ offense took another massive strive forward with the addition of Javier Gorostola, who officially is Missouri’s second incoming transfer from FGCU this summer. Rejoining his former teammate Wilfred Gonzalez, Gorostola brings an elite, proven bat to the SEC after a dominant 2026 season where the All-ASUN First Team selection weaponized a .370 batting average alongside 81 hits, 13 home runs and 54 RBIs.

Beyond his offensive firepower, Gorostola is just as reliable with his glove, recording 48 assists and 21 putouts while splitting time as a catcher and infielder. His presence with Mizzou provides the Tigers with an immediate threat and a highly versatile defensive weapon.
