2025 Arizona Wildcats baseball team

The 2025 Arizona Wildcats baseball team represented the University of Arizona during the 2025 NCAA Division I baseball season. The Wildcats played their home games for the 14th season at Hi Corbett Field. The team was coached by Chip Hale in his 4th season at Arizona. This season was Arizona's 1st season participating as members of the Big 12 Conference, having departed the Pac-12 Conference after 45 seasons. The Wildcats won their first Big 12 Conference tournament championship, defeating TCU 2–1 in extra innings. It was their 2nd consecutive Conference championship and the Wildcats received the Big 12’s automatic bid to the 2025 NCAA Tournament, their 44th all-time. This marked the 5th consecutive postseason appearance for the Wildcats, the longest such streak since 1959-1963. Arizona was placed in the Eugene Regional, where they defeated Cal Poly twice and Utah Valley to advance to face #1 North Carolina. They upset the Tar Heels 2 games to 1 in the Chapel Hill Super Regional to advance to their 19th College World Series appearance all-time and 1st since 2021. They subsequently were eliminated in two games losing to #11 Coastal Carolina - in a rematch of the 2016 College World Series final - and Louisville to end their season.

Previous season

The Wildcats finished the 2024 season with a record of 36–23, winning the Pac-12 regular season championship. In the Pac-12 Conference Baseball Tournament in Scottsdale, AZ, the top-seeded Wildcats defeated Washington in pool play before falling to California. By virtue of having the best record of the non-advancing teams, Arizona advanced to the Finals as the Wild Card team where they defeated Stanford and - in a walk-off - USC to claim the Pac-12 Tournament title. The team subsequently was selected to the postseason for a 4th consecutive season for the 1st time since 1960–1963. For the 1st time since their College World Series-bound campaign in 2021, the Wildcats were named as regional hosts. In the Tucson Regional they went 0–2, losing to Grand Canyon and Dallas Baptist to end their season.

During the offseason, the Wildcats participated in 3 fall exhibition games. On October 3 the team again participated in the Mexican Baseball Fiesta held at Tucson's Kino Veterans Memorial Stadium, defeating for a 2nd consecutive season the Naranjeros de Hermosillo of the Mexican Pacific League 7–1. Arizona next played a doubleheader against Pima Community College on October 12 at Hi Corbett Field, winning both matches by scores of 16–2 and 2–0. The Wildcats concluded the preseason on October 18 with a doubleheader against Central Arizona College at Hi Corbett Field.

The coaches poll was released on January 23, 2025. Arizona was voted to finish second Big 12.
