JONESBORO, Ark. (7/28/21) – After the Arkansas State baseball team registered a 3.39 grade-point average for the 2020-21 academic year, the American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA) honored the program once again with one of its Team Academic Excellence Awards on Wednesday.
The Red Wolves joined Little Rock as the only two Sun Belt Conference schools on the list, which featured 94 Division-I programs. Only three Division-I squads in Arkansas received the award. In total, 381 college programs from Divisions II, III, and NAIA, as well as the junior college ranks earned honors for academics.
A-State has earned ABCA Team Academic Excellence Awards in each of the last two years (2019-20, 2020-21) and five of the last six dating back to 2015-16.
