The 2018 NCAA Division I baseball tournament began on Friday, June 1, 2018, as part of the 2018 NCAA Division I baseball season. The 64-team, double-elimination tournament concluded with the 2018 College World Series in Omaha, Nebraska, starting on June 16 and ended on June 28.{{cite web|url=https://www.ncaa.com/championships/baseball/d1|publisher=NCAA|title=Baseball Division I Championship|access-date=October 9, 2017}} The Oregon State Beavers defeated the Arkansas Razorbacks in the best-of-three final series to win the championship.

The 64 participating NCAA Division I college baseball teams were selected out of an eligible 298 teams.{{Cite web |url=http://web1.ncaa.org/onlineDir/exec/sponsorship |title=Team Directory |access-date=2017-10-09 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101230214415/http://web1.ncaa.org/onlineDir/exec/sponsorship |archive-date=2010-12-30 |url-status=dead }} Thirty-one teams will be awarded an automatic bid as champions of their conferences, and 33 teams will be selected at-large by the NCAA Division I Baseball Committee.

Teams were divided into sixteen regionals of four teams, which conducted a double-elimination tournament. Regional champions competed in Super Regionals, a best-of-three-game series, to determine the eight participants in the College World Series. For the first time, the Tournament seeded the top 16 teams instead of pairing teams generally along geographical lines.{{cite web|url=https://www.ncaa.com/news/baseball/article/2017-10-06/di-baseball-championship-moves-16-seeds|publisher=NCAA|title=DI Baseball Championship moves to 16 seeds|date=October 6, 2017|access-date=October 9, 2017}}

In the championship series, Arkansas won the first game and held a 3–2 lead entering the top of the ninth inning in game 2. With two outs and a runner on third, Oregon State shortstop Cadyn Grenier popped a foul ball down the right field line that multiple Razorback players appeared to have a play on. Had the ball been caught, Arkansas would have won their first national championship in baseball; instead, the ball dropped between the first baseman, second baseman, and right fielder to continue the at-bat. Three pitches later, with the Beavers down to their final strike, Grenier singled in the tying run, and was followed by Trevor Larnach's two-run homer to give OSU a 5–3 lead and the eventual victory to even the series.{{Cite web |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0MiHC05d63o|publisher=NCAA|title=2018 CWS: Full inning of Oregon State's crazy Game 2 comeback vs. Arkansas|access-date=2021-04-15}} The following day, Oregon State freshman Kevin Abel – who threw 23 pitches the previous night{{Cite web |url=https://www.espn.com/college-baseball/game?gameId=381781058|publisher=ESPN|title=Game Recap |access-date=2021-04-15}} – notched a 129-pitch complete game shutout, allowing just two hits and retiring the final 20 Razorback hitters {{Cite web |url=https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/college/baseball/2018/06/28/oregon-state-beats-arkansas-college-world-series-decisive-game-3/744310002/|publisher=USA Today|title=Freshman Kevin Abel pitches Oregon State past Arkansas to win College World Series|access-date=2021-04-15}} to secure the Beavers' third national title in baseball.
