The 2021 BYU Cougars baseball team represented Brigham Young University during the 2021 NCAA Division I baseball season. Mike Littlewood acted as head coach of the Cougars for a ninth consecutive season. The Cougars were picked to finish fourth in the WCC Pre-season poll. The Cougars entered the season after having watched the WCC cancel the 2020 season due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As a cost containment measure, the WCC cut the 2021 baseball tournament, so the regular season champion will got the conferences auto-bid to the NCAA Tournament. The Cougars went 23–27 overall, 15–12 in conference, and finished fourth in the standings.
2021 Roster
Schedule
Rivalries
BYU had two main rivalries on their schedule- the Deseret First Duel vs. Utah and the UCCU Crosstown Clash vs. Utah Valley. New D1 state team Dixie State also played the Cougars.
Radio Information
BYU Baseball was once again broadcast as part of the NuSkin BYU Sports Network. BYU Radio 107.9 KUMT served as the flagship station. However, because of a women's soccer and general conference conflicts, some radio broadcasts were App exclusives, and the first three games against Texas State didn't have a radio broadcast. Jason Shepherd and Greg Wrubell rotated providing play-by-play after Brent Norton retired from the position after 30 seasons. Tuckett Slade served as analyst on most broadcasts.
