The 2022 Clemson Tigers baseball team are the varsity intercollegiate baseball team that represents Clemson University during the 2022 NCAA Division I baseball season. The Tigers compete in the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) and are led by seventh-year head coach Monte Lee. Clemson plays its home games at Doug Kingsmore Stadium in Clemson, South Carolina.

Previous Season[]

The Tigers finished the season 25–27 and 16–20 in ACC play to finish in fifth place in the Atlantic Division. As the eleventh seed in the ACC Tournament they were placed in Pool B with second seed Georgia Tech and seventh seed Louisville. The Tigers lost to Louisville and defeated Georgia Tech. Their 1–1 record was not good enough to advance to the Semifinals and they were not invited to the NCAA Tournament. The Tigers missed the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2008 and just the second time since 1987. This was also Clemson's first losing season since 1957. It was also head coach Monte Lee's first time missing the NCAA Tournament as a head coach.^[2]
