San Francisco Dons baseball

The program began play in 1962. Dante Bendetti served as the first coach in program history, serving until 1980 and winning 373 games, a mark not succeeded until Nino Giarratano (hired in 1999 after being the hitting coach at Arizona State University). The 2005 team won a program record 38 games in 56 games to go along with eight players in the all-conference team and coach of the year honors. The 2006 team went 38–21 record and won a share of the WCC conference regular season championship. They lost the tournament final to Pepperdine but were given an at large berth into their first ever NCAA tournament.

USF began receiving reports of sexual misconduct and psychological abuse from the baseball team in late 2021, attributing these allegations eventually to assistant coach Troy Nakamura and firing him in January 2023. Two months later, it was reported that Nakamura was permitted access to the baseball facilities by Giarrantano, and a class action was filed against both Nakamura and Giarrantano the following March by three anonymous players. Two days after the suit was filed, Giarrantano was fired with assistant coach Mat Keplinger becoming interim head coach.^[6] The following season, Rob DiToma, then head coach of the Fairleigh Dickinson Knights baseball team, was hired as new head baseball coach.^[7]
