College Baseball Program of the Day Tampa Spartans π‘οΈβΎ
In June, Tampa beat No. 1 West Chester 8-4 in a winner-take-all Game 3 in Cary, N.C. to win the 2026 NCAA Division II national championship. That's three straight titles (2024, 2025, 2026), the first three-peat in D2 he first by any NCAA baseball program since USC won five in a row from 1970 to 1974.
The resume:
π 11 national championships, the most in NCAA Division II history
π 8 of them since 2006 under head coach Joe Urso
π 2026: 51-9 overall, 27-3 in the Sunshine State Conference, fourth straight SSC title
π 2025: a program-record 55 wins
βΎ RHP Luke Fikar was the 2026 tournament Most Outstanding Player after winning Games 1 and 3 of the finals
Coach Urso is 1,113-306-1 in 26 seasons, with 19 SSC titles, 14 NCAA South Regional titles and six 50-win seasons. Associate head coach Sam Militello runs the pitching staff. He was the 1990 D2 National Player of the Year at Tampa, pitched in the big leagues for the Yankees, and has coached 21 All-American pitchers. Recruiting director Jose Jimenez is an eight-time national champion at Tampa as a player and coach.
The pro pipeline is real: 74 MLB draft picks since 2001, and big leaguers like Tino Martinez, Lou Piniella, Jordan Leasure and Anthony Nunez. Catcher Jhoander Irigoyen signed with the Cubs this summer right after the title run.
