The primary tenant of Melching Field is the Stetson University Hatters college baseball team, a Division I program playing in the ASUN Conference.

Melching Field features 2,500 chair and benchback seats, with room for approximately 500 more spectators in a grass berm area along the first base foul line.

Player amenities include home and visiting locker rooms, coaches' offices and a covered batting cage area.

The ballpark is named for R. Dale Melching, a Stetson alumnus and donor who represented the United States national baseball team at the 1942 Amateur World Series in Havana, Cuba.

Melching Field opened on February 12, 1999, where a crowd of 2,874 saw the Stetson Hatters defeat the University of Louisville 4–3.
