2022 Iowa Hawkeyes baseball team

The Iowa Hawkeyes baseball team was a baseball team that represented the University of Iowa in the 2022 NCAA Division I baseball season. The Hawkeyes were members of the Big Ten Conference and played their home games at Duane Banks Field in Iowa City, Iowa. They were led by ninth-year head coach Rick Heller.

Previous season

The Hawkeyes finished the 2021 NCAA Division I baseball season 26–18 overall (26–18 conference) and tied for fourth place in conference standings, as the season was limited to only conference games for all Big Ten teams due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Preseason

Hitting coach Jimmy Frankos was not retained by the team, and he was replaced by North Dakota State hitting coach, David Pearson.

For the 2022 Big Ten Conference poll, Iowa was voted to third in first by the Big Ten Coaches.
