The Maryland Terrapins baseball team represents the University of Maryland in National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I college baseball competition. Along with the university's other athletic teams, the baseball team became a member of the Big Ten Conference during the 2014–15 academic year. The Terrapins compete in Shipley Field at Bob "Turtle" Smith Stadium on the Maryland campus in College Park, Maryland.
Maryland Baseball has not been historically strong but the program has improved steadily under third-year head coach John Szefc. During the 2014 and 2015 seasons, Maryland made consecutive conference tournament championship game appearances and posted back-to-back campaigns of 40 or more wins, a first in school history. The Terps have made multiple appearances in various top-25 national college baseball polls in each of the last two seasons and was voted the 2015 preseason favorite to win the Big Ten title in its first season competing in the league.
After failing to make the NCAA tournament for 43 years, the Terrapins earned berths in the 2014 and 2015 NCAA Division I Baseball Tournaments. In 2014, Maryland Baseball beat South Carolina to advance to the NCAA tournament Super Regional round for the first time in school history. Maryland has participated in a total of five NCAA tournaments: 1965, 1970, 1971, 2014, and 2015. The program has won four conference championships in its history.
