The UST Golden Sox is one of the top baseball teams in the UAAP, having won two (2005, 2007) of the last four titles in four straight finals appearances since 2004. Sometimes dubbed as the Golden Sox, they have one of the top pitching prospects in the country in Jonjon Robles, who won the UAAP MVP twice after leading them to the title. He is also a multi-time Best Pitcher Awardee.
UST is currently well represented by the Makati Mariners squad in the Baseball Philippines, even reaching the finals of the tournament's pilot series.

Famous quotes containing the word baseball:
“How, in one short century, has this ersatz sport so strangled the consciousness of the country in the grip of its flabby tentacles that the mention of women’s baseball gets no reaction other than blank amazement?”
—Darlene Mehrer, As quoted in Women in Baseball. Ch. 6, by Gai Ingham Berlage (1994)
“When Dad can’t get the diaper on straight, we laugh at him as though he were trying to walk around in high-heel shoes. Do we ever assist him by pointing out that all you have to do is lay out the diaper like a baseball diamond, put the kid’s butt on the pitcher’s mound, bring home plate up, then fasten the tapes at first and third base?”
—Michael K. Meyerhoff (20th century)
“The talk shows are stuffed full of sufferers who have regained their health—congressmen who suffered through a serious spell of boozing and skirt-chasing, White House aides who were stricken cruelly with overweening ambition, movie stars and baseball players who came down with acute cases of wanting to trash hotel rooms while under the influence of recreational drugs. Most of them have found God, or at least a publisher.”
—Calvin Trillin (b. 1935)
