American publication based in Arizona From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Collegiate Baseball Newspaper (also known as Collegiate Baseball Magazine and Collegiate Baseball) was an American publication based in Arizona that considered itself the "voice of amateur baseball" and was published for over 40 years. The publication gave out several awards: Collegiate Baseball Player of the Year, Collegiate Baseball Coach of the Year, and Collegiate Baseball All-Americans.[citation needed]
It was published twice a month from January until June, and then once each in September and October.[1]
The "Collegiate Baseball" newspaper poll was college sports' oldest baseball poll.[2][3] A ranking of the top 30 teams was released prior to the season, weekly throughout the season, and after the conclusion of the College World Series. It started with the 1957 college baseball season.[2][3] The publication has ceased operation as of November 2023.
The Collegiate Baseball Player of the Year award was given to the best player in NCAA Division I. It was first awarded in 1984.[citation needed]
The Collegiate Baseball Coach of the Year award was given to the best coach in NCAA Division I. It was first awarded in 1980.[citation needed]
The Collegiate Baseball All-Americans award was given to the best players at various positions in NCAA Division I. It was first awarded in 1981.[citation needed]
Beginning in 2016, the magazine began awarding honors to freshman starting pitchers and freshman relief pitchers.
Before 2005, there was not a specific award known as the "Freshmen Pitcher of the Year." Rather, there were multiple Players of the Year awarded each season.
