Marshall plays its home games at Jack Cook Field, a 3,500 seat on-campus facility which opened for the 2024 season.

The Herd won the West Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (which Marshall helped to found in 1924 as what would be known as the WVIAC) in 1928-29-30-3 under former Ohio State University and St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Johnny "Stud" Stuart, then won the Buckeye Conference 1933-34-35 under Marshall and West Virginia University Halls of Fame member Roy "Legs" Hawley.

Marshall finished as runner-up in the 2008 Conference USA (C-USA) baseball tournament, falling in the finals to Houston, 3–2, but winning a MU record 30 games without a home field to use in Huntington for the entire season.

In 2015, outfielder Corey Bird was an All-Cape Cod League selection, then hit .300 for the 2016 Herd and led C-USA in stolen bases.

The Herd won a Marshall record 34 games (and lost only 21), posted the first winning season since 1994 and made the C-USA Tournament for the first time since 2010.

Due to its limited amenities for both fans and players, Marshall has played conference games at GoMart Ballpark in Charleston, more than 50 miles from campus.
