# 1992 Arizona Wildcats baseball team

The 1992 Arizona Wildcats baseball team represented the University of Arizona during the 1992 NCAA Division I baseball season. The Wildcats played their home games at Frank Sancet Stadium. The team was coached by Jerry Kindall in his 20th season at Arizona. The Wildcats finished 34-23 overall and placed 1st in the Pacific-10's Southern Division with an 18–12 record. This was Arizona's final conference championship under Coach Kindall and would be their last for 20 years until clinching a share of the then-Pac-12 Conference championship in 2012. The Wildcats made the postseason for the 1st time since 1989 and were selected to host the West Regional at Sancet Stadium. This would be the final time Sancet Stadium would host postseason play and, coincidentally, was the last time the program would host a regional until the same 2012 season when the program would win its 4th College World Series title. The Wildcats lost back to back games to Washington and Hawaii to end their season.

## Previous season

The Wildcats finished the 1991 season with a record of 27-32 and 10–20 in conference play, finishing 6th in the "Six-Pac" (Pac-10 Southern). Arizona would miss the postseason for a 2nd straight season for the first time since missing 4 straight postseasons from 1981 to 1984.
