Southeastern Conference baseball awards
# Southeastern Conference baseball awards

At the end of each regular season, the Southeastern Conference names major award winners in baseball. Currently, it names a Coach, Pitcher, Player, and Freshman of the Year. The Coach of the Year award, which dates to 1933, is the oldest. The other three awards were added in the 1990s and early 2000s.

Through the end of the 2014 season, LSU has won 26 major awards, the most of any program. Five other schools have won at least ten: Florida (17), Alabama (16), Ole Miss (11), Vanderbilt (11), and Mississippi State.
