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.
