Jim Brock (July 24, 1936 – June 12, 1994) was the head coach of the Arizona State Sun Devils baseball team for 23 seasons from 1972 until his death in 1994.

In 1994, Brock battled liver and colon cancer that would take his life one day after the conclusion of the College World Series.

He led his team through the regional tournament at Knoxville, Tennessee, and was in the dugout when the Sun Devils beat the University of Miami 4–0, in the opener of the College World Series.

Speaking in little more than a whisper, he gave his team an inspirational pep talk after a scoreless first inning when he sensed that the Sun Devils were flat.

His Sun Devils went on to hit five home runs to eliminate top-seeded Miami, 9–5, presenting him with his 1,100th coaching victory.
