The history of Baylor Bears Baseball includes three
College World Series
appearances (1977, 1978 and 2005). In recent years, Baylor has enjoyed renewed success in baseball. The 2013, 2017, 2018 and 2019 seasons came with NCAA tournament appearances. The Baylor Bears captured the 2018
Big 12 Tournament Championship
, its first in school history as a Big 12 member, winning all four of their games in Oklahoma City. The clincher in the tournament was a 6-5 extra-inning affair against Texas Christian University. In its life in the former Southwestern Conference, the Baylor Bears collected three tournament titles (1977, 1978 and 1993). The school won the Big 12 regular-season championship in 2000 and reached at least 50 wins for the first time the previous year.

''Steve Rodriguez guides the Baylor Bears as head coach. In his first four years at Waco (2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019), Rodriguez has led three of them to the NCAA Baseball Tournament. The 2017 team was the first Baylor team to reach an NCAA Baseball Tournament Regional since 2012. He also holds honors as the 2017 Big 12 Coach of the Year. Rodriguez brings prior experience as Pepperdine University head coach and as a player for the Boston Red Sox and Detroit Tigers (both in 1995) and Team USA.'
'The Baylor Bears posted a 35-19 record in 2019, including 14-8 in the Big 12. The conference mark placed Baylor second behind the Texas Tech Red Raiders. The 2018 conference tournament champion Bears went 37-12.'

The rosters of Baylor Bears baseball squads include players with strong marks in Major League baseball. Forty-three former Baylor Bears baseball players, starting with Denney Wilie in 1911, reached the big leagues. Wilie accomplished the feat only nine years after Baylor first started playing baseball. Outfielder David Murphy, of the 2001, 2002 and 2003 Bears, featured prominently on the 2010 and 2011
Texas Rangers
teams that made the World Series. With his appearance in 2018 for Los Angeles Dodgers, Max Muncy became the fifth Baylor Bear to play in the
World Series
. Those five Baylor Bears have combined for 11 World Series appearances. In the 2018 campaign, Muncy hit 35 home runs, recorded 79 RBIs and played four positions for the Dodgers and helped them make up nine games to win the National League West.
''The Baylor Bears will tussle for Big 12 honors with Lone Star state rivals Texas Longhorns, Texas Tech Red Raiders and Texas Christian University Horned Frogs. From outside the Big 12, Lamar University, Stephen F. Austin, Dallas Baptist and Sam Houston State will vie with the Baylor Bears for bragging rights in Texas.'
