The Hurricanes played their home games at Alex Rodriguez Park at Mark Light Field as a member of the Atlantic Coast Conference. They were led by head coach Jim Morris, in his 24th season at Miami.

The Hurricanes failed to qualify for the NCAA Division I Baseball Championship, ending a 44-year streak of making the postseason tournament. The streak had been the longest in NCAA history (for any sport, and in any division).
