LAKELAND, Fla. - The American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA) has announced the 2025-26 ABCA Team Academic Excellence Award winners, presented by Sports Attack, with Florida Southern College baseball named to the list. It is the sixth consecutive year the Mocs were recognized academically by the ABCA.
 
Teams from every level of college and high school baseball were honored with this year's award, which highlights programs coached by ABCA members that posted a GPA of 3.0 or above on a 4.0 scale for the entire 2025-26 academic year.
 
Florida Southern finished the 2026 season with a 26-22 overall record, finishing fifth in the conference. Just shy of an NCAA bid, the Moccasins batted .291 on the year with a 4.98 ERA as a pitching staff. Highlights of the year included series sweeps of Northwood, Barry, Palm Beach Atlantic, and Florida Tech. The Mocs had three selected to the All-Sunshine State Conference Teams, led by Mikey Scott and Ryan Jenkins as second team winners, and Cory Filley named to both the All-SSC and ABCA All-South Defensive Teams.
 
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.
