Arizona Head Coach Chip Hale during an NCAA College World Series baseball game on June 13, 2025 in Omaha, Neb.
Arizona has extended baseball coach Chip Hale's contract four years through 2030 after he led the Wildcats back to the College World Series.
Terms of the deal announced Monday were not released and must still be approved by the Arizona Board of Regents.
"Arizona Baseball has long been one of the nation's premier programs, and coach Chip Hale has honored that legacy while elevating our standard of excellence," Arizona athletic director Desiree Reed-Francois said in a statement. "He is a proud Wildcat, a proven leader, and a tremendous ambassador for the University of Arizona. With Chip leading the way, we are well-positioned to compete for championships and continue developing exceptional young men on and off the field."
Hale has led Arizona to the NCAA Tournament four straight times since returning to Tucson to coach his alma mater in 2021. The Wildcats returned to the College World Series this year for the first time since 2021.
Hale, a former manager of the Arizona Diamondbacks, has led Arizona to consecutive conference tournament championships, coached six All-Americans and two first-round Major League Baseball picks.
