*West Coast Conference games
y- BYU was considered the home team despite playing in Moraga because the game was originally scheduled to be played in Provo.Radio Information
Every BYU Baseball game had a radio/internet broadcast available. 33 games were broadcast on KOVO with Brent Norton (play-by-play) calling the games for his 26th consecutive season. A rotating selection of analysts was used. 14 of the games were simulcast on BYU Radio. BYU Radio also had 4 radio exclusives this season: Mar 6 late night & Mar 7 vs. Hartford & Apr 7 & 28 vs. Utah Valley. Robbie Bullough provided play by play for BYU Radio's exclusive games vs. Hartford as well as the Apr. 28 game at Utah Valley. He also sat in on a couple of games Brent Norton was unable to make. The Apr. 7 Utah Valley game was a BYUtv simulcast.
