The Commodores finished ranked #10 in the nation and earned a #6 seed in the 2016 Southeastern Conference tournament. The Commodores went 2–2 and were eliminated by Texas A&M, the eventual champions. Following the SEC tournament, the Commodores hosted a regional in the NCAA Division I baseball tournament, part of the Louisville super regional.
