Pepperdine's home baseball games are played at Eddy D. Field Stadium, one of the nation's most picturesque collegiate facilities.

Original field construction was completed prior to the 1973 season, and the facility was then known as Waves Park. Pepperdine won the first game played at Waves Park, defeating Whittier by a final score of 5-2 on Feb. 16, 1973.

Bleacher and stadium seating was added in 1980, and the facility was officially dedicated as Eddy D. Field Stadium on March 30, 1980. Pepperdine defeated Nebraska by a final score of 5-4 on that date.

Eddy D. Field Stadium has seating for up to 1,800 fans. The facility includes a fully equipped press box, self-contained clubhouses underneath the grandstands, restrooms and a concessions booth.

The facility has undergone continual improvements over the years, adding a video scoreboard in 2007, plus enhancements to the locker rooms, batting cages, fencing and more.

In January 2018 and January 2019, Eddy D. Field Stadium played host to the California Strong Celebrity Softball Game. Started in January of 2019, California Strong sought to raise money for those affected by the Borderline Bar shooting and the string of fires that ravaged the California communities in November of 2019. Major League Baseball Players Ryan Braun, Mike Moustakas and Christian Yelich, along with NFL quarterback Jared Goff and Mike Attanasio from the Milwaukee Brewers ownership group founded California Strong and have raised over 2.1 million dollars for household across the state who have been affected by tragedy. 

The softball games drew droves of crowds to Malibu, as celebrities such as Adam Sandler, Jamie Foxx, Brad Paisley, Charlie Sheen and many others played a slowpitch softball game on the field. In the first iteration, over one million dollars were raised in direct support to the first and the mass shooting.
