1995 Arizona Wildcats baseball team
The 1995 Arizona Wildcats baseball team represented the University of Arizona during the 1995 NCAA Division I baseball season. The Wildcats played their home games at Frank Sancet Stadium. The team was coached by Jerry Kindall in his 23rd season at Arizona. The Wildcats finished 20-35-1 overall and placed 6th in the Pacific-10's Southern Division with a 6–24 record. This was the Wildcats' worst conference record during Kindall's tenure as well as their 2nd worst overall record (behind only the previous 1994 season). This marked the program's 2nd straight season finishing with a losing record, the first time this had occurred since 1983–1984. For only the 3rd time under Kindall's leadership, Arizona missed the postseason for a 2nd consecutive season.
