The 2022 North Dakota State Bison baseball team represented North Dakota State University during the 2022 NCAA Division I baseball season. The Bison played their home games at Newman Outdoor Field adjacent to NDSU's campus. The team was coached by Tyler Oakes in his 1st season as head coach at NDSU. Oakes had been associated with NDSU Baseball since December 2013.[2] The Bison claimed their first Summit League Regular season title during the season, winning every conference series played.
The Bison entered the Summit League tournament as the No. 1 overall seed. They lost to Omaha to start the tournament, then beat South Dakota State to advance to the semifinals, before falling to Omaha yet again to be eliminated from the tournament. NDSU finished the season with a 31-19 record and a 17-5 record in the Summit League, the second of which is their best for the program since entering Division I.

It was their first conference tournament title since 2014. NDSU entered the NCAA tournament as the four seed in the Stanford Regional.[6] The Bison lost to number 7 overall seed Stanford[7] before winning their first NCAA Division I Tournament game against regional three seed Nevada.[8] NDSU was eliminated from the tournament when they lost to number 17 overall seed UC Irvine.[9]
