They've won 43 of the 49 baseball games they've played and are ranked 10th in the NAIA's most recent poll.
They were 32-4 during the Kansas Conference's regular-season; won the title by a whopping seven games and secured a berth in the Opening Round of next month's NAIA Championships.
And they enter this week's KCAC Championships as the top seed, are the prohibitive favorites and riding a 16-game winning streak.
Nonetheless, veteran Kansas Wesleyan coach Bill Neale says the Coyotes are not taking anything for granted and have a lengthy to-do list.
"Our goals are bigger than just this," said Neale, who is in his 12th season and has led KWU to the NAIA postseason for the last four years. "We know if we lose in the conference tournament it could hurt us with some seedings and we want to be a national one seed. They want to win the tournament; they've already made that clear. They're not satisfied that we have an Opening Round bid already. "
There's also the matter of the KCAC tournament being played in Salina at Dean Evans Stadium, their home field. The Coyotes face eighth-seeded York at 7 p.m. Wednesday in their first contest.
"The boys are excited ... and I'll be honest, they don't like losing at home," Neale said.
KWU's success has been dazzling, but it wasn't always easy. Injuries, especially to the pitching staff, were a sizeable obstacle, but a juggernaut offense rolled unabated.
The Coyotes entered the week leading the NAIA in team batting average (.360) and slugging percentage (.659). They're also tops in home runs (118), runs batted in (505), hits (587), extra base hits (247), total bases (1,076) and are second in on base percentage (.473).
KWU has scored 10 or more runs in 27 games so far.
Individually, Fernando Ruvalcaba ranks fourth nationally in RBI (74) while Carter Allen's sixth (71). Allen's also sixth in home runs (21), Chris Finocchario seventh (20) and Ruvalcaba eighth (19).
"Obviously, it starts with recruiting good hitters and then getting them in our system," Neale said. "I think the best thing is our system brings out the best in all of our hitters. We allow them to swing with force; we allow them to be explosive."
That's not to detract from the pitching staff. Two starters were lost for the season early on with injuries, but the Coyotes didn't skip a beat. KWU pitchers have a combined 4.44 earned run average, and opposing batters are hitting .241.
Top starters are Shaw Lee (8-1, 3.21 earned run average), Thalen Wright (4-0, 4.43) and Wil Yamka (6-2, 4.58). Riley Gwin (7-1, 2.64, 4 saves) leads the bullpen along with Daniel Turnham (3-0, 2.78, 2 saves) and Kayden Shivers (2-1, 4.40, 2 saves).
"I think our depth is showing this year offensively, and on the mound," Neale said. "This is the day and age of everyone wants a strikeout, but we're not even close to the top nationally in strikeouts. You've got to get 27 outs, and no one says you have to strike everybody out.
"The total chances for our infield is through the roof. Our guys are pitching the location and they're making batters hit ground balls at people."
Neale says pressure is not a factor this week.
"We've been a target for four years now, and we've embraced that," he said. "Take it game by game, don't look ahead. We say all the time the only team that can beat us is us. We just worry about us and if we do that, I think we'll be successful."
