Notes
- ^ A running total of the number of head coaches.
- ^ The Trojans joined the California Intercollegiate Baseball Association in 1927, having played their earlier seasons as an independent. This conference was essentially a division within the Pacific Coast Conference and its 1960 baseball season successor, the Athletic Association of Western Universities. This conference, through expansion, became the Pacific-8, Pacific-10, and finally the Pac-12 Conference.
- ^ Postseason play involving the NCAA Division I Baseball Championship.
- ^ Postseason appearances include seasons with NCAA Division I Baseball Championship bids since the tournament began in 1947.
- ^ College World Series appearances include seasons with CWS bids since the tournament began in 1947.
- ^ Includes conference playoffs, which occurred between divisional champions from 1947–1959, and in multiple formats from 1970–1978 and 1995–1998. CIBA also held a championship series between its division winners in 1943. One-game playoffs for the right to advance to these events are also included in the totals.
- ^ Southern California did not sponsor a baseball team in 1890–91, 1895, 1897, 1901 or 1919.
- ^ National, regional and conference coach of the year awards.
