Tampa Spartans baseball

The Tampa Spartans baseball program represents the University of Tampa in the NCAA's Division II level in the Sunshine State Conference. The Spartans are the most successful baseball program in the history of Division II with eleven national titles, the most recent coming in 2026. The Spartans are coached by Joe Urso, considered to be the greatest Division II baseball head coaches and one of the best college baseball coaches of all-time.

Tampa has reached the College World Series 22 times, reaching the finals 13 times. The Spartans have won 25 Sunshine State Conference titles, including 20 since 2000, and have produced 101 Major League Baseball draft picks. Nine of those players have gone on to play in the big leagues, including Tino Martinez, Ozzie Timmons and Lou Pinella. The program has highly-publicized wins against Philadelphia Phillies in an exhibition game back in 2015 and the Netherlands national baseball team ahead of the 2006 World Baseball Classic.

The Spartans have spent 399 weeks ranked in the top 25, including 298 consecutive weeks from 2005–present. Of those 399 weeks, 119 have been spent as the No. 1 team in all of Division II and 353 weeks have been spent inside the top 10.
