2017 NAIA baseball tournament

The 2017 NAIA baseball tournament was the 61st edition of the NAIA baseball championship. The 46-team tournament began on May 15 with Opening Round games across nine different sites and concluded with the 2017 NAIA World Series in Lewiston, Idaho that began on May 26 and ended on June 2. In a rematch of the previous year's championship game, Lewis–Clark State (ID) defeated Faulkner (AL) 6–4 in a winner-take-all championship game for their third straight title and their 19th title in program history. Faulkner forced a winner-take-all championship with a 6–5 victory over Lewis–Clark State the night before.

The 46 participating teams were selected from all eligible NAIA teams with the World Series host receiving an automatic bid to the NAIA World Series. The remaining 45 teams participated in the Opening Round with 30 teams being awarded automatic bids as either champions and/or runners-up of their conferences, and 15 teams were selected at-large by the National Selection Committee. Teams were then placed into one of nine pre-determined Opening Round sites of five teams a piece, each of which is conducted via a double-elimination tournament. The winners of each of the Opening Round sites plus the World Series host team participated in the NAIA World Series.

Tournament procedure
A total of 46 teams entered the tournament. As World Series host, Lewis–Clark State received an automatic bid into the NAIA World Series. 30 automatic bids were determined by either winning their conference's regular season championship, conference tournament, and/or conference tournament runner-up.
