Pitcher Ted Lyons was a player on Baylor's Southwest Conference (SWC) Championship team in 1923.

At this time, Lyons is the only player from a Big 12 or former SWC University to be in the National Baseball Hall of Fame.

Kelly Shoppach would also earn the unanimous All-American honor as a Baylor catcher in 2001 and consensus Big 12 Player of the Year.

The Bears racked up a mid-season 24-game win streak (including an 18–0 start to conference play) which the players attributed to their adoption of a beaver that appeared along the banks of the Brazos River.

[2] "Feeding the Beaver" – referring to a player hitting a home-run onto the Brazos riverbank – became a year-long team slogan as the Bears earned the #4 national seed and were selected as regional hosts in the 2012 NCAA Baseball Championship tournament.

In June 2015, the Bears announced the hiring of former Pepperdine head baseball coach Steve Rodriguez.

Leading 11–9, Baylor pitching only allowed 1 run on 3 hits in the bottom of the ninth to secure the win.

Former Bears and major leaguers David Murphy and Kelly Shoppach both played in this game for Baylor.

With a listed capacity of 5,000 people, the retro-styled ballpark was modeled after Plainsman Park, home field of the Auburn Tigers, which had a very similar design, but was smaller.

In 2001 Sports Illustrated on Campus ranked Baylor Ballpark "the best college baseball venue".

In 2003, Baseball America conducted a survey in which college coaches voted Baylor's facility the third best ballpark in the country.

However, in back-to-back games, the Bears defeated the Oregon State Beavers and #1 Tulane Green Wave to set a rematch with the Longhorns.
