Vanderbilt began the 2020 season with high hopes, having secured the second highest-rated recruit class for the season. In addition, the Commodores were highly ranked in preseason and subsequent polls, beginning at #1 according to the preseason ESPN/USA Today Coaches poll and closing at #7 on March 16, the final ranking.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the future of the 2020 college baseball season, and the seasons of all spring sports, became unclear. On March 12, Vanderbilt University declared that all spring sports were suspended for the remainder of the season. On March 30, the NCAA canceled the upcoming College World Series, but announced that senior spring athletes would have the opportunity to return to school for the 2021 spring season if they wished.
