How many times has Vanderbilt won the College World Series? Deep dive into Commodore's success to date 

The Tim Corbin-led Vanderbilt Commodores competed in the SEC in the 2024 college baseball tournament. However, the current iteration of the Commodores is perhaps less stellar than other schools.

The Vanderbilt Commodores have won two men's College World Series in program history. The franchise won in 2014 and 2019.

Here's a closer look at the two-time national champions and how they fared in 2024.

How many times has Vanderbilt played in the College World Series Finals?

Vanderbilt has been to the College World Series four times. They won in 2014 and 2019 but lost in 2015 and 2020. Vanderbilt had the chance to make back-to-back College World Series wins in the past decade, but it wasn't to be. The Commodores are joined by South Carolina, Stanford, Oklahoma, Michigan and California as teams with two national men's baseball championships.

In the meantime, the program is trying to discover its groove under long-time head coach Tim Corbin. Corbin has been with the program for over two decades and knows the institution like the back of his palm. He became one of only 10 active NCAA Division coaches to reach 1,000 career wins on March 5, 2024, after beating Eastern Michigan 6-2 at Hawkins Field.

The Commodores have not played in the College World Series since 2021, something Corbin and his coaching staff will be desperate to fix next season.

What to expect from Vanderbilt in 2025?

Examining the outgoing season before assessing the team's changes in next year's regular season is important.

First, the Vanderbilt Commodores had a 39-21 regular season record in 2024. That record proved that the team had been found out, and they'd be subsequently targeted in the postseason. Of course, Tim Corbin and Co. were ousted in the regionals stage after losses to Coastal Carolina and High Point. Clemson went on to advance from that group. This marked yet another early playoff loss for the two-time Omaha College World Series champs.

Hence, it's key to avoid setting lofty or unattainable targets for Vanderbilt. The team isn't a hotbed for four or five-star talents, and they could use some NIL backers, a privilege enjoyed by numerous SEC teams. For now, the Vanderbilt Commodores will keep pushing for a return to Omaha as the first step.
