The American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA) is proud to recognize SUNY Oneonta along with over 650 member college and high school programs from across the country who have been awarded the 2021-22 ABCA Team Academic Excellence Award, presented by Sports Attack. 

Over 250 high school programs and more than 420 collegiate programs were recognized with this year's award.

For Oneonta, it is the seventh straight year they are being recognized for their classroom accomplishments. The Red Dragons were one of 158 from NCAA Division III to earn the honor including being one of two squads from the SUNYAC.

Coaches were able to nominate their teams for the ABCA Team Academic Excellence Award following the conclusion of their spring semesters. To be honored, teams had to meet the following criteria:

•     Must be a high school or college team
•     Head coach must be a current ABCA member
•     Team must have a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.00 on a 4.0 scale during the 2021-22 academic year

On the field, the Red Dragons finished the past season with a 13-23 overall record. 

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 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.
