Seeding and format

The tournament format was the same as used in the conference 2022 baseball tournament. The top eight finishers from the regular season were seeded one through eight, and played a two bracket, double-elimination tournament. The bracket winners moved-on to the championship series held at the home field of the highest remaining seeded team. Teams were seeded by record within the conference with a tie–breaker system to seed teams with identical conference records. The top eight teams in the conference qualified for the tournament.
