After a historic 2019 season, the Bruins have been named the no. 1 overall seed in the NCAA Baseball Tournament and will host the Los Angeles Regional.

After ten weeks as the no.1 team in the nation, winning the Pac-12 Championship and finishing the regular season 47-8, the UCLA baseball team has claimed the top spot in the NCAA Tournament.
