NCAA DI Baseball Program
Pepperdine University Baseball - CA
Pepperdine University baseball competes at the NCAA DI level in West Coast Conference and is based in Malibu, CA. Campus enrollment is about 3,553 students. The published acceptance rate is 63%. Recent baseball results include 2026: 21-33. Listed coaches include Tyler LaTorre, Dane Stankiewicz, Rick Hubbard, Brady Renck, and Bryson LeBlanc.
Pepperdine jumped from 7–17 in WCC play in 2025 to 15–12 and fourth place in 2026, reaching the conference tournament before falling to Saint Mary's, as Tyler LaTorre's rebuild took hold in Malibu. On the Baseball Forward podcast, recorded early in his first season, LaTorre said culture takes time but mindset can change instantly, and that players earn the right to take the field by building "equity" through a body of work in practice and in their daily lives. Families weighing a 40-player 2027 roster should expect few openings, so playing time will run through that standard.
