Dallas Baptist's baseball program will join the Pac-12 as an affiliate member and begin play in the reconstructed conference in 2027, the school announced Thursday. DBU has won 40 games in 12 of the past 14 seasons and has played in the NCAA regionals in 14 of the past 17.

The reborn Pac-12 projects to be a top-five football conference and a perennial multi-bid league in men’s basketball. On the baseball front, the Pac-12 is also angling to be a major player at the national level.

The new Pac-12 conference for baseball is starting to take shape ahead of the 2027 campaign, as the Pac-12 Conference and Dallas Baptist University announced that DBU will be an affiliate member in baseball.
