Atlantic Coast Conference baseball awards

At the end of each regular season, the Atlantic Coast Conference names major award winners in baseball. Currently, it names a Coach, Pitcher, Player, and Freshman of the Year. The Player of the Year award, which dates to 1969, is the oldest. The others– Coach (1981), Freshman (1991), and Pitcher (2005)– were added later.

Through the end of the 2014 season, Clemson has won 19 major awards, the most of any program. Five other schools have won at least ten: Florida State (17), Georgia Tech (16), North Carolina (16), Virginia (13), and NC State (10).

On four occasions, a school has swept all the major awards given out in a season. No team has done so since the fourth award (Pitcher of the Year) was added in 2005. One team (Clemson in 1995) did so between 1991 and 2004, when three awards were given. Three teams did so between 1981 and 1990, when two awards were given: Wake Forest in 1982, NC State in 1984, and Georgia Tech in 1987.
