GREENSBORO, N.C. – The Millsaps baseball program earned recognition from the American Baseball Coaches Association and received the 2025-26 ABCA Team Academic Excellence Award, presented by Sports Attack, on Wednesday, July 22 following their outstanding hard work inside the classroom.
The Millsaps baseball program stood tall during the 2025–26 school year, achieving a 3.09 cumulative GPA. These student-athletes not only dedicated their time to being the best on the diamond, but also to their academic studies.
This year's award recipients include more than 500 college programs and more than 320 high school programs.
Following the conclusion of the spring semester, coaches were invited to nominate their teams for the award before the July 17 deadline. To qualify, a program was required to meet the following criteria:
- Be a high school or college baseball program
- Have a head coach who is a current ABCA member
- Post a minimum cumulative team GPA of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale for the 2025-26 academic year

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-Region 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.
