The 2012 Stony Brook Seawolves baseball team represents Stony Brook University in the 2012 NCAA Division I baseball season. The Seawolves are coached by 22nd year head coach Matt Senk and play their home games at Joe Nathan Field. The Seawolves clinched their second consecutive regular season championship and their fourth America East Conference Baseball Tournament, earning the league's automatic bid to the 2012 NCAA Division I Baseball Tournament. The team went on to win the Coral Gables Regional and defeated LSU in the Baton Rouge Super Regional, becoming the first ever team from the America East Conference to advance to the College World Series, the first team from New York in thirty years, and from the Northeast since 1986.
The 2012 season would prove to be a breakthrough for Stony Brook baseball. After going through most of the out-of-conference season unnoticed, the team gained traction by the middle of the conference season winning 10 consecutive games en route to their second consecutive regular season championship (21–3 in AE, 43–11 overall).
Stony Brook went on to win three consecutive games in the America East tournament at Joe Nathan Field to earn the program's fourth title, beating Maine 13–6 in the finals to advance to the 2012 NCAA Division I Baseball Tournament with a 46–11 record, the best record in Division I. The Seawolves were the first team in the America East since 2002 to earn both the regular season and conference tournament championships in the same season. For the first time in the history of the program, Stony Brook found itself ranked, sitting at #25 in the Baseball America poll and #29 in the NCBWA poll.
