The Northwestern Wildcats baseball team was a baseball team that represented Northwestern University in the 2022 NCAA Division I baseball season. The Wildcats were members of the Big Ten Conference and played their home games at Rocky Miller Park in Evanston, Illinois. They were led by interim head coach Josh Reynolds.

Previous season
The Wildcats finished the 2021 NCAA Division I baseball season 15–21 overall (15–21 conference) and tenth place in conference standings, as the season was limited to only conference games for all Big Ten teams due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Preseason
On May 31, 2021, Spencer Allen resigned as the head coach of Northwestern. That same day, Wildcats pitching coach, Josh Reynolds was named the interim head coach for the 2022 season. On August 2, 2021, Reynolds added his former head coach, Brad Hill to his coaching staff. On August 19, 2021, Reynolds finished his coaching staff, naming Jimmy Frankos as his volunteer assistant.
