The success of SHU Baseball at the Division II level is no surprise – the crimson and gold posted an impressive 45-20 record during their last season of NAIA play in 2006, taking home the AMC title, Region IX Championship and a berth in the NAIA World Series in Lewiston, Idaho.

 Seton Hill athletics and Griffin Baseball embarked on a new path in 2006-07 as new members of the NCAA Division-II and the West Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (WVIAC). Along with our new affiliation, our on-campus artificial turf ballpark continues to grow into one of the best in the region. In the last four years, upgrades have included two full length batting cages, new 60-foot dugouts, foul poles, new outfield fencing, scoreboard and completely rebuilt bullpens, and permanent seating in the summer of 2010.
This is certainly an exciting time for Seton Hill Baseball as we continue to strive to compete for a National Championship each and every year. For Seton Hill Baseball to continue the "Tradition of Excellence" that has been built, we seek to bring into our program the highest level players possible and give them the best collegiate baseball experience possible.
If you have an interest in becoming a student athlete at Seton Hill and a member of our program, please contact our baseball office at (724) 830-1169, or head coach Marc Marizzaldi
