All-Region Teams
Baseball annually has three All-Region teams – this team selected by sports information directors that is sponsored by the D2CCA, a second team that is selected by coaches that is sponsored by the American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA), and a third team selected by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association (NCBWA). The ABCA and NCBWA awards are still to be announced.
Sports information directors from NCAA Division II Atlantic Region schools and conferences selected the two all-region teams. The process concludes with All-American selections announced next month. The Atlantic Region consists of schools from the Mountain East Conference (MEC) and the PSAC along with other independents.
The D2CCA Team
The D2CCA team is sponsored by the Division II Conference Commissioners Association encourages and promotes Division II athletics and high standards of sportsmanship as important elements of higher education. The CCA is a key communications link among the conferences as they discuss views, policies and regulations that impact Division II intercollegiate athletics and works closely with the NCAA as a communications channel to NCAA Division II member colleges and universities.
