The 2023 North Dakota State Bison baseball team represented North Dakota State University during the 2023 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 second year head coach Tyler Oakes.

NDSU made the Summit League tournament as the second seed. They lost in the opening round to South Dakota State, survived elimination once with a win over Omaha,[2] but lost to South Dakota State again to be eliminated on day 3[3] for the second year in a row. The Bison finished the season with a 23–30 overall record with a 16–7 record in Summit League play.

## Previous season

[edit]

The Bison finished last season with a 31-19 overall record, and a 17-5 record in the Summit League good for the team's first Summit League Regular season title. Their conference record was also the program's best since entering the conference.[4] In the Summit League tournament, the Bison opened as the number 1 seed. They lost to Omaha in the opening round, then beat South Dakota State to advance to the elimination round semifinals. However, the Bison fell to Omaha yet again to end their chances of defending their conference title from the previous season.
