The Marist Red Foxes baseball team is a varsity intercollegiate athletic team of Marist College in Poughkeepsie, New York, United States. The team is a member of the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference, which is part of the National Collegiate Athletic Association's Division I. The team plays its home games at James J. McCann Baseball Field in Poughkeepsie, New York. Baseball was added to the Marist Athletic Department in the fall of 1990 and their inaugural season was 1991. The Red Foxes are coached by Chris Tracz.
The program has appeared in six NCAA Division I Baseball Championships, as of the end of the 2013 season.
The first came in 1997, with a team led by All-American Mark Barron and two future Major League draftees, Jorge Santiago and Mike Speckhardt. The Red Foxes qualified for the tournament by winning the NEC Tournament and appeared in the East Regional, hosted by Florida State University. The Foxes went 0-2 in the Regional, losing to #4 Florida State 4-2 in their first game.
In 2000, the Red Foxes swept through the MAAC Tournament to win the conference championship. In the Lafayette Regional, the team won the program's first NCAA Tournament game, 6-5 over McNeese State. It also lost 8-7 in 11 innings against top-seeded East Carolina. Senior catcher Anthony Ambrosini and sophomore Anthony Bocchino were both named to the All-Regional Team. The Red Foxes also had two All-America nominees in Bocchino (.404 batting average and 90 hits) and freshman pitcher Kevin Ool (6-4, 2.42 ERA).
