Program history
[edit]
The West Virginia University (WVU) baseball program was established in 1892, making it one of the oldest collegiate baseball programs in the country. Over more than a century of play, the Mountaineers have developed a rich tradition marked by competitive success, player development, and strong fan support.
WVU has competed in multiple conferences throughout its history, including the Southern Conference, the Atlantic 10, and the Big East. In 2013, WVU transitioned to the Big 12 Conference, stepping into one of the most competitive baseball environments in the nation. The move helped elevate the profile of the program, attracting higher-level talent and increasing national exposure.
Several Mountaineers have gone on to play professionally, including Major League Baseball (MLB) standouts like Jedd Gyorko, John Means, and Alek Manoah, who was a first-round draft pick by the Toronto Blue Jays in 2019 and made his MLB debut in 2021.
The program saw significant growth under head coach Randy Mazey, who took over in 2013. Under Mazey’s leadership, WVU returned to national prominence, consistently finishing among the top teams in the Big 12 and making multiple NCAA Regional appearances. Mazey announced his retirement following the 2024 season.
As of the conclusion of the 2024 season, the Mountaineers have made 15 NCAA Tournament appearances, with recent appearances helping solidify the program’s growing reputation. The team has also won five conference tournament championships, along with 15 regular season conference titles and nine division titles over its history. [2]

Randy Mazey era (2013-2024)
[edit]Upon taking the helm, Mazey faced the difficult task of elevating the Mountaineers to compete in one of the strongest baseball conferences in the country. Despite playing home games at multiple locations due to facility limitations, his first team in 2013 finished 33-26 (13-11 Big 12) and exceeded expectations in WVU’s debut Big 12 season.
In 2024, Mazey lead the Mountaineers to their first ever Super Regional in school history. Finishing the season 36-24 and ranked 13th in the country. In 12 seasons with West Virginia, Mazey went 372-274 overall (133-133 Big 12). While going 15-20 in Big 12 Conference tournament play and 7-8 during NCAA tournament play.[3]
First NCAA Tournament Berth in 21 Years (2017)
• Under Mazey, WVU returned to the NCAA Tournament in 2017 for the first time since 1996.
First Regional Hosting Since 1955 (2019)
• The Mountaineers hosted an NCAA Regional in 2019, marking the first time in 64 years that WVU served as a tournament host. WVU finished the year 38-22 and ranked 21st.
Big 12 Regular Season Co-Champions (2023)
• WVU won a share of its first-ever Big 12 regular-season title in 2023.
• The team tied a school record with 40 wins and secured another NCAA Tournament appearance.
First-Ever NCAA Super Regional Appearance (2024)
• In his final season, Mazey led WVU to its first NCAA Super Regional in program history.
• The Mountaineers went 3-0 in the Tucson Regional, finishing the season 36-24 and ranked 13th.
Steve Sabins era (2025-present)
[edit]Following the 2024 season and the retirement of Randy Mazey, longtime assistant Steve Sabins took over as the 20th head coach in West Virginia baseball history. [4]
