ABCA Honors 2025 Regular Season Conference Champions Across Eight Collegiate Divisions

October 8, 2025

2024 Conference ChampionsThe American Baseball Coaches Association is proud to recognize the 2025 ABCA Conference Champions from eight divisions of collegiate baseball. The Conference Champions award is presented annually to NCAA, NAIA and Pacific Association Division teams who capture their conference's regular season title. NJCAA District Champions are honored with this award.

Each head coach from the 2025 season’s championship programs will be honored at the 82nd annual ABCA Convention in Columbus, Ohio. Coaches in attendance will be presented with a custom award during their Divisional Business Meeting on Thursday, January 8. Awards will also be mailed to current ABCA member coaches unable to attend the Convention or meeting.

Early Bird Registration pricing for the 2026 ABCA Convention in Columbus, Ohio, is still available through Thursday, October 9. To register your coaching staff, visit www.ABCAconvention.org.

The American Baseball Coaches Association has a long tradition of recognizing the achievements of baseball coaches and student-athletes. The ABCA/Rawlings All-America Teams are the nation's oldest, founded in 1949, and the ABCA's award program also includes the ABCA/Rawlings All-Region Awards, the ABCA/ATEC National & Regional Coaches of the Year and several other major awards such as the ABCA Hall of Fame, the ABCA/Wilson Lefty Gomez Award and the Dave Keilitz Ethics in Coaching Award.
