The 2022 Summit League baseball tournament took place from May 26 through 29, 2022. It initially was supposed to start on May 25, but the tournament was pushed back a day due to inclement weather in the area. The top four regular-season teams of the league's seven teams met in the double-elimination tournament held at J. L. Johnson Stadium on the campus of Oral Roberts University in Tulsa, Oklahoma.[2] The winner of the tournament, Oral Roberts, earned the Summit League's automatic bid to the 2022 NCAA Division I baseball tournament.
