The 1993 Arizona Wildcats baseball team represented the University of Arizona during the 1993 NCAA Division I baseball season. The Wildcats played their home games at Frank Sancet Stadium. The team was coached by Jerry Kindall in his 21st season at Arizona. The Wildcats finished 35–26 overall and placed 3rd in the Pacific-10's Southern Division with a 16–14 record. Arizona reached the postseason for the 2nd straight season and the final time in Jerry Kindall's tenure and were placed as the 3-seed in the Midwest Regional, which was hosted by Oklahoma State University in Stillwater, Oklahoma. After falling into the loser's bracket with a loss to Auburn in their 1st game, the Wildcats rallied to win their next 3 against North Carolina State, Fordham and Oklahoma State. The team was ultimately eliminated 1 win (and 1 run) short of a College World Series appearance with a 10–11 loss in the regional final to host Oklahoma State.

Previous season

The Wildcats finished the 1992 season with a record of 34–23 and 18–12 in conference play, finishing 1st in the "Six-Pac" (Pac-10 Southern). 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 were selected to the postseason and were awarded the hosting of 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 were eliminated in 2 games following losses to Washington and Hawaii.
