The 1998 Arizona Wildcats baseball team represented the University of Arizona during the 1998 NCAA Division I baseball season. The Wildcats played their home games at Frank Sancet Stadium. The team was coached by Jerry Stitt in his 2nd season at Arizona. The Wildcats finished 33–23 overall and placed 4th in the Pacific-10's Southern Division with a 12–18 record. This season marked the last time that the Pac-10 played in divisions, as Portland State's discontinuation of baseball following the season led to their elimination. Arizona missed the postseason for the 5th consecutive season, surpassing the previous record of 4 consecutive seasons from 1981 to 1984. This remains the longest postseason drought in program history.
