The 2022 BYU Cougars baseball team represented Brigham Young University during the 2022 NCAA Division I baseball season. Mike Littlewood began the season as acting head coach of the Cougars for a tenth consecutive season. However, on April 11 Littlewood announced he was stepping away from BYU Baseball for personal reasons that were undisclosed. Assistant coach Trent Pratt was named acting head coaching for the remainder of the season.
With 22 players returning this season the Cougars were picked to finish second in the WCC Pre-season poll. To conclude the season the WCC hosted the 2022 baseball tournament May 24–28 at Banner Island Ballpark. For the first time in WCC history the tournament expanded to 6 teams. Teams 1 and 2 received byes into the double elimination bracket while 3 played 6 and 4 played 5 in a single elimination first round.
BYU qualified for the tournament as the #4 seed. However the Cougars fell in the tournament's first-round single-elimination game 5–1 to finish the season 33–21, 17–12 under Littlewood and 16–9 under Pratt.
On June 8 BYU removed the interim title from Pratt and announced he'd be the new BYU baseball head coach for future seasons.
