The USC Trojans baseball program represents the University of Southern California in college baseball. Established in 1888, the team is a member of the National Collegiate Athletic Association and the Pac-12 Conference. The head coach of the Trojans is Dan Hubbs, who has held the position since the start of the 2013 season. USC home's field is Dedeaux Field, which is named in honor of former head coach and National College Baseball Hall of Fame inductee Rod Dedeaux.
The USC Trojans are one of the most successful programs in the history of college baseball. The Trojans have won more baseball national championships than any other program across all divisions of college baseball. With 12 national championships, USC is far and away the leader in that category; no other Division I school has more than six. As of May 31, 2015, USC also ranks fourth in all-time College World Series (CWS) appearances with 21, tied with Florida State and trailing only Texas (35), Miami (FL) (23), and Arizona State (22). The Trojans have won more individual CWS games (74) than any program but Texas (85). USC also ranks fourth in all-time NCAA Tournament wins with 173—trailing only Texas (233), Miami (182), and Florida State (180)—and eighth in total NCAA Tournament appearances with 37.
The Trojans have compiled an all-time record of 2,807–1,593–28 (.637)—ranking third in all-time wins and 18th in all-time win percentage—and have captured outright or tied for 38 conference championships, as the end of the 2014–15 season. USC's most notable baseball coach was Rod Dedeaux, who coached from 1942 from 1986 and led the school to 11 of its NCAA championships, including five straight from 1970 to 1974. The first Trojan national championship came in 1948. The 12th and most recent NCAA championship came in 1998.
