The Iowa Hawkeyes baseball program represents the University of Iowa in college baseball. The program started in 1890. It is a member of the Big Ten Conference and is the only NCAA Division I baseball program in the state of Iowa.

Record by year

This is a table of the Iowa Hawkeyes record year-by-year.[2][3] Starting with the 1981 season the Big Ten tournament winner was declared conference champion. It also marked the first season of East and West divisions in the conference. They lasted through the 1987 season. Starting in 1993 the regular season winner was once again recognized as the conference champion. The Big Ten tournament was used to determine the NCAA automatic qualifier only.

Chicago sponsored baseball from 1896 through 1944 and again in 1946 before leaving the conference after the 1946 season. In 1951 Michigan State joined the conference, giving it ten schools sponsoring baseball. From 1896 through the 1991 season Wisconsin sponsored baseball. It dropped the sport after that season. Starting with the 1992 season Penn State joined the conference, once more bringing the conference up to ten baseball sponsoring members. In 2012 Nebraska began play in the conference, giving it 11 schools sponsoring baseball. Maryland and Rutgers joined the Big Ten as well in 2014 and participated in the 2015 season, bringing the total number of baseball programs to 13.
