As of the end of the 2024 season, the Wolfpack have appeared in four College World Series and 34 NCAA tournaments.

[3] The team's nickname was the "Farmers" until autumn 1921, when an alumnus complained that the behavior of some of the school's football players was "as unruly as a pack of wolves."

[5] NC State made its first College World Series appearance in 1968, in the second season of head coach Sammy Esposito's tenure.

[6] Since the NCAA tournament's format was changed in 1999 to include the Super Regional round, NC State has appeared in five Super Regionals, losing to Miami in 2003, Georgia in 2008, and Florida in 2012, beating Rice in 2013, and Arkansas in 2021.

[7][8][9] The Wolfpack have hosted five NCAA Regionals, one at Wilson, North Carolina's Fleming Stadium (in 2003) and four at Doak Field (in 2008, 2012, 2013, 2016).

[9][10] NC State was put into the Ruston Regional as a 2 seed where they cruised right on through not losing a single game.

That ended their magical postseason run and hopes of winning the program's first ever national title.

Prior to 1966, the team played at Riddick Stadium, which was also home to the NC State football program.

Current head coach Elliot Avent is the program's leader in total career victories at NC State, with 1,036 as of July 31, 2024.

[23][24] In the 2014 Major League Baseball Draft, two NC State players were selected in the first round.
