The Arizona Wildcats baseball program is a college baseball team that represents the University of Arizona in the Pac-12 Conference in the National Collegiate Athletic Association.^[1] The team has seen 17 individuals hold the head coach position since it started playing organized baseball in the 1904 season. 3 of these coaches had non-consecutive tenures.

Since 1950 - which the university considers the beginning of its modern baseball program - only six people have held the position.^[2]
