2024 Pac-12 Baseball Tournament bracket officially set

The Pac-12 regular season is in the books, which means we now officially have a 2024 Pac-12 Baseball Tournament bracket ahead of the tourney next week.

The Pac-12 has a bit of a unique bracket format compared to many of the other conferences. Of its 11 total teams in 2024, only nine make the Pac-12 tourney, and those nine are separated into three groups of three for pool play. In pool play, teams face the other two opponents in their pool while one team advances out of each group, plus one wildcard, the best performer among the other six teams who did not win their pool.

So below, you can see how the pools shook out for this year’s Pac-12 Baseball Tournament, with each team’s seed in parentheses.

POOL A: Arizona, Arizona State, Washington
POOL B: Oregon State, Cal, Stanford
POOL C: Oregon, USC, Utah

Next, you can see the full schedule for pool play over Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday:

Tuesday May 21

Stanford vs. Cal | 10:00 a.m.
Utah vs. USC | 2:30 p.m.
Washington vs. Arizona State | 7:00 p.m.

Wednesday May 22

Oregon State vs. Stanford | 10:00 a.m.
Oregon vs. Utah | 2:30 p.m.
Arizona vs. Washington | 7:00 p.m.

Thursday May 23

Cal vs. Oregon State | 10:00 a.m.
USC vs. Oregon | 2:30 p.m.
Arizona State vs. Arizona | 7:00 p.m.

Following pool play, the survivors will duke it out in the semifinals Friday and then the championship game on Saturday evening. The Pac-12 website notes that, ideally, the highest seeded team will face the lowest seeded team in one semifinal, with the other two closer-seeded squads facing each other. However, since two teams from the same pool cannot meet in the semifinal round, they’d be split up even if they were the highest and lowest seed.

With all of that in mind, here’s what that schedule looks like for the final rounds:

Friday May 24

Semifinal 1 | 2:30 p.m.
Semifinal 2 | 7:00 p.m.

Saturday May 25

Championship game | 7:00 p.m.
