Dominant at The Couch
With a clear home-field advantage, Wake has gone 110-25-1 since 2022 at The Couch with at least 20 wins at home in each of the last four seasons, including a stellar 34-3 mark on their way to a program-record 54 wins in 2023, 25-7 in 2024, and finished 24-8 in 2025. Over the past five seasons, the Demon Deacons have outscored their opponents by almost 700 runs at The Couch, with a 1,273 to 566 margin in 136 contests. The Deacs saw a 69-game non-conference home win streak come to an end earlier this season, but are 74-2 in such games since 2022.
Strike Early. Strike Often.
One of the keys to the Deacs' success over the last five years has been scoring first, as Wake Forest has gone 113-35-1 in games where they got on the board first since the 2022 season. Under Tom Walter, Wake is 322-128-1 when scoring first, including a 25-7 mark during the 2025 campaign.
On Fire in February
Over the past five seasons, the Deacs are 37-3 in the opening month of play, going 9-1 in 2025, 7-1 in 2024, 10-0 in 2023 and 8-0 in 2022. During that stretch, Wake Forest has outscored their opponents by a 438 to 116 margin (8.05 runs per game).
