The Cal Poly Mustangs baseball team represents California Polytechnic State University, which is located in San Luis Obispo, California. The Mustangs are an NCAA Division I college baseball program, and along with the other Cal Poly athletic teams with the exception of swimming, wrestling, indoor track and football, the baseball team competes in the Big West Conference.
The Cal Poly Mustangs play all home games on campus at Robin Baggett Stadium. Under the direction of Head Coach Larry Lee, the Mustangs have played in three NCAA tournaments—2009, 2013, and 2014—including hosting their first regional in 2014. The Mustangs also won their first Big West Conference title in 2014.
Prior to Lee's arrival and Cal Poly's move to Division I in all sports, the Mustangs played in multiple Division II regionals. Cal Poly initially won an NCAA Division II championship in 1989, although it was later vacated by the NCAA.
The main rival of the Cal Poly is UC Santa Barbara. The rivalry is a part of the larger Blue–Green Rivalry, which encompasses all sports between the two schools.
