The Connecticut Huskies baseball team represents the University of Connecticut, in Storrs, Connecticut in college baseball. The program is classified in the NCAA Division I, and the team competes in the American Athletic Conference. The team is coached by Jim Penders.
UConn has appeared in five College World Series and 18 NCAA Tournaments.
The Huskies play at J. O. Christian Field, a 2,000 seat stadium located at the southwest edge the campus athletic complex. Some games are also played at minor league venues in Connecticut, most frequently Senator Thomas J. Dodd Memorial Stadium in Norwich, CT and New Britain Stadium in New Britain, CT, each of which seat over 6,000 spectators.
The following is a list of all UConn coaches and their known records, through the 2013 season.
The Huskies were a regional power under coaches J. Orlean Christian and Larry Panciera, making twelve appearances in the NCAA Tournament and five appearances in the College World Series from 1957 to 1979. The end of true regional play has hurt teams from the northeast, Connecticut included, as they have made just five NCAA Tournament appearances in 28 seasons since beginning play in the Big East in 1985. The Huskies made their first Super Regional appearance in 2011, defeating traditional power Clemson before falling to eventual national champion South Carolina. Connecticut has claimed three Big East Conference Baseball Tournament Championships in 1990, 1994, and 2013, one Big East Regular season championship in 2011, and one divisional championship in the first year of Big East competition in 1985.
