# 2022 Mississippi Valley State Delta Devils baseball team

The Mississippi Valley State Delta Devils baseball team was a baseball team that represented the Mississippi Valley State University in the 2022 NCAA Division I baseball season. The Delta Devils were members of the Southwestern Athletic Conference and played their home games at Magnolia Field in Itta Bena, Mississippi. They were led by first-year head coach Stanley Stubbs.

## Previous season

The Delta Devils finished the 2021 NCAA Division I baseball season 0–20 overall (0–17 conference) and fifth place in east division of the conference standings, as the season was limited to mostly conference games for most SWAC teams due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Following back-to-back win-less seasons, head coach Aaron Stevens was relieved of his duties. On July 27, 2021, Stanley Stubbs was named the head coach of the Delta Devils.
