American Baseball Coaches Association annually recognized more than 500 baseball programs for academic achievement

The Murray State Baseball program was honored recently with the 2020-21 ABCA Team Academic Excellence Award, as the American Baseball Coaches Association recognized more than 500 member programs. The Racers were honored after having a team GPA of 3.0 or above.

Coaches were able to nominate their teams for the ABCA Team Academic Excellence Award following the conclusion of their spring semesters prior to the nomination deadline of July 12.

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 awards program also includes the ABCA/Rawlings All-America Awards, the ABCA/ATEC Regional & National Coaches of the Year and several other major awards such as the ABCA Hall of Fame and the Dave Keilitz Ethics in Coaching Award.
