NCAA DI Baseball Program

Gardner-Webb University Baseball - NC

Gardner-Webb University baseball competes at the NCAA DI level in Big South Conference and is based in Boiling Springs, NC. Campus enrollment is about 1,856 students. The published acceptance rate is 77%. Recent baseball results include 2026: 25-30. Listed coaches include Jim Chester, Cam Medic, Curtis Robison, Tom Cockill, Vinny Mauro, and Ty Rechtorovic.

Gardner-Webb climbed from 17–36 in 2025 to 25–30 in 2026, going 10–14 in Big South play under Jim Chester. On the Baseball Forward podcast, Chester said the Boiling Springs staff will always build roughly half from high school and half from transfers, since an all-high-school roster struggles to stay competitive and an all-transfer roster can't build the right culture, and that it won't offer an opportunity off a video in an email. Families weighing a lean 24-player 2027 roster should plan on being seen in person, and Chester encourages recruits to come to camp.
