The Bates baseball team was honored by the American Baseball Coaches Association on Wednesday for the program's achievements in the classroom with the ABCA Team Academic Excellence Award.
The award highlights programs coached by ABCA members that posted a GPA of 3.0 or above on a 4.0 scale for the entire 2021-22 academic year.
Led by head coach Jon Martin, the Bates baseball team has achieved a cumulative GPA of 3.32, well above the standard for the award.
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-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.
