The 2015 South Florida baseball team represents the University of South Florida during the 2015 NCAA Division I baseball season. The Bulls play their home games at USF Baseball Stadium as a member of the American Athletic Conference. They are led by head coach Mark Kingston in his first season at South Florida.
In 2014, the Bulls finished the season 5th in the American with a record of 27–31, 10–14 in conference play. They qualified for the 2014 American Athletic Conference Baseball Tournament and were eliminated in pool play. They failed to qualify for the 2014 NCAA Division I Baseball Tournament.
The Bulls opened their season in Clearwater, Florida, close to their campus in Tampa, for a three-game opening weekend tournament with a pair of nationally-ranked clubs in Cal State Fullerton and Louisville, along with Alabama State. The Bulls went two for three on the weekend, upsetting Cal State Fullerton in the opening game in a pitching duel between Bulls ace Jimmy Herget, who recorded nine strikeouts, and Titans ace Thomas Eshelman, who recorded ten. The Bulls then fell to Louisville, 3–7, before easily defeating Alabama State 12–4 to finish off the weekend 2–1.
The Bulls hosted #5 Florida in a midweek game on February 18, and the Gators defeated the Bulls 13–3 behind six no-hit innings from Brett Morales. In their weekend series from February 20–22, the Bulls took the series against Wagner, winning the first two games handily before settling for an unusual tie in the final game due to a travel curfew for the Seahawks.
