NCAA DI Baseball Program

University of Central Florida Baseball - FL

University of Central Florida baseball competes at the NCAA DI level in Big 12 Conference and is based in Orlando, FL. Campus enrollment is about 59,146 students. The published acceptance rate is 40%. Recent baseball results include 2026: 32-23. Listed coaches include Norberto Lopez, Drew Thomas, Rich Wallace, Morgan DePew, Shane Gierke, and Jack Zyska.

UCF finished 32–23 overall and 19–11 in Big 12 play, tying for third—the Knights’ best Big 12 finish and most conference wins since joining the league—then reached the NCAA Auburn Regional as a No. 2 seed (1–2). Rich Wallace (tenure since 2024) leads the Orlando NCAA Division I program after a quarterfinal Big 12 Tournament exit to Oklahoma State. Public notes framed the spring as proof the Big 12 jump is taking hold. Families weighing a 47-player 2027 roster should treat another NCAA regional as the standing expectation.
