The Battling Bishop baseball team plays its home games at Littick Field, located on South Henry Street on the southeastern corner of campus.

Named after Clay Littick '15, Littick Field became the Bishops' home field in 1969. Coinciding with the resurgance of the Bishop baseball program, the facility has seen considerable improvements in the past 10 years, including new dugouts, a new wood outfield fence, a fully-enclosed perimeter, windscreen completely surrounding the field, and a state-of-the-art automatic irrigation system.

Littick Field has played host to 4 of the last 7 North Coast Athletic Conference baseball tournaments. Its dimensions are 335 feet down the lines, 355 and 365 feet in the left and right centerfield alleys and 397 feet in center.

Clay Littick earned 9 letters in baseball, basketball and football and was an All-Ohio selection as a catcher in baseball and as a forward in basketball. A Zanesville native, he was elected into the Ohio Wesleyan Athletic Hall of Fame in 1966.

From just after the turn of the century through 1968, the Bishops played their home games at Edwards Field, located where Branch Rickey Arena and Gordon Field House stand today. With its inviting leftfield fence barely 300 feet down the line, Edwards Field played host to many a slugfest and saw the 1958 Battling Bishop baseball team post a 12-0 record in becoming the only undefeated team in the nation that year. Games prior to the early 1900s were played at a variety of sites.
