Collegiate Baseball Newspaper

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.
