History

History: Baseball is one of the oldest and most longstanding sports at Wartburg. The earliest record that mentions a baseball team is a college catalog from 1899-1900. As time went on, the baseball program became more competitive, especially after joining the Iowa Intercollegiate Athletics Conference in 1936. Highlights of the program include 16 Iowa Conference championships in the last 20 seasons, two-time NCAA Division III Central Region champions, and two College World Series berths.

Timeline: 1899 (earliest record)-Present.
