I thought I remember Jamie commenting on this in the past. He said adding baseball would be a possibility when/if it is financailly feasible. I thought he gave a timeline of around 10 years or so. He also stated that it wasn't a Tittle IX issue and that he could add the men's sport without needing to add a female sport.
Part of the long-term facilities master plan includes building a new track, softball stadium, & "possibly" a new baseball stadium accross from JTS where the intramural softball diamonds are located adding to the entrance to Iowa State University.
It has been a while since I heard/read this though.
EDIT: found the article ... towards the bottom.
