The University of Wisconsin-River Falls was known as River Falls State Normal School until 1951, Wisconsin State College-River Falls until 1964, and Wisconsin State University-River Falls until 1971. There have been no students from the school who have played Major League Baseball, but minor league manager Mike Young graduated from there in 1979 and played on the varsity baseball team. The University has since dropped baseball. In June of 2023, plans were announced to reinstate baseball at UWRF and to compete starting in the 2024-25 school year.
