The Texas Longhorns baseball team represents The University of Texas at Austin in NCAA Division I intercollegiate men's baseball competition. The Longhorns currently compete in the Big 12 Conference.
The University of Texas began varsity intercollegiate competition in baseball in 1894. Texas is the winningest NCAA Division I college baseball program of all time[2] in terms of win percentage, with an all-time win–loss record of 3696–1396–32 (.724) as of the end of the 2022 season, including a 3526–1248–28 (.737) versus collegiate opponents. The Longhorns rank second in all-time wins, behind the Fordham Rams. Texas has won 80 regular-season conference championships and 16 conference tournament championships in baseball.[3]
The Longhorns have won six NCAA baseball national championships (1949, 1950, 1975, 1983, 2002, 2005)—the third most behind LSU's total of 7 and Southern California's total of 12—and have been the runner-up in the College World Series (CWS) Championship Game or Championship Series on six other occasions (1953, 1984, 1985, 1989, 2004, 2009).[4] Texas holds the records for most appearances in the College World Series (38), most individual CWS games won (88), most overall NCAA tournament games won (253), and most NCAA tournament appearances (62); the second-place programs in these categories have 25 CWS appearances (Miami), 74 CWS game wins (Southern California), 199 overall NCAA tournament wins (Florida State), and 58 NCAA tournament appearances (Florida State), as of the end of the 2021 season. As such, Texas is often considered to be one of the greatest programs in college baseball history.
Former Longhorns who have gone on to success in Major League Baseball include Roger Clemens, Calvin Schiraldi, Burt Hooton, Keith Moreland, Spike Owen, Mark Petkovsek, Greg Swindell, Brandon Belt, and Huston Street.
From 1997 to 2016, the Longhorns were led by head coach Augie Garrido, who holds the record for most wins in NCAA baseball history. The team is currently led by fifth-year head coach David Pierce. Texas plays its home games at UFCU-Disch-Falk Field.
