The 2025 event went to the final day to determine a champion in just the sixth baseball championship in conference history. No. 2 seed Cal Poly beat top-seeded and 20th-ranked UC Irvine to claim the title.  
  
The Big West is considered by many as one of the best mid-major baseball conferences in the nation. Last year, the league was one of four non-power conferences to send multiple teams to the NCAA Regionals in UC Irvine and Cal Poly. Both the Anteaters and Mustangs were one game away from making the super regional round.   
  
As of March 17, The Big West has five teams featured in the top 25 of the NCAA RPI rankings in UC Santa Barbara (7), UC San Diego (22) and UC Davis (25). The Big West also boasts two of the top 100 prospects in the upcoming 2026 MLB Draft in UC Santa Barbara right-handed pitcher Jackson Flora and UC Irvine left-handed pitcher Ricky Ojeda.   
  
The Big West is currently ranked ninth among conferences in the nation and are consistently a multiple-bid league for NCAA Regionals including in each of the last two seasons, nine times in the last 12 postseasons, and have hosted a regional or super regional 10 times during that span. 
  
All games are televised on ESPN+ with Steve Quis scheduled for play-by-play duties alongside John Kentera.
