The San Diego State Aztecs baseball team is the college baseball program that represents San Diego State University (SDSU). The Aztecs compete in NCAA Division I as a member of the Mountain West Conference (MW). The team plays its home games at Tony Gwynn Stadium.

Notable alumni include Baseball Hall of Fame inductee Tony Gwynn and World Series MVP Stephen Strasburg.

Stadium

Tony Gwynn Stadium is the Aztecs' home ballpark, located on the campus of the San Diego State University. The stadium opened in 1997 and hosts a capacity of 3,000.

The previous stadium at the same site was known as Smith Stadium in honor of Charlie Smith, the longtime San Diego State head baseball coach. In 1997, the stadium was rebuilt at a cost of $4 million, funded mainly by John Moores, then-owner of the San Diego Padres.

The new stadium was named in honor of Tony Gwynn, a Baseball Hall of Fame superstar for the Padres. The playing field retained Smith's name, and is officially known as Charlie Smith Field at Tony Gwynn Stadium.
