Big 12 Conference baseball awards
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
At the end of each regular season, the Big 12 Conference names major award winners in baseball. Currently, it names a Coach, Pitcher, Player, Freshman, and Newcomer of the Year. With the exception of the Pitcher of the Year award, first given out in 2001, the awards date to the 1997 season, the conference's first.[1]
Through the end of the 2014 season, Texas has won 25 major awards, the most of any program. Two other schools have won at least ten: Nebraska (16) and Texas A&M (14).[1]
Texas Tech is the only program to sweep all the awards in a single season. In 1997, it won all four awards presented.[1]
Pitcher of the Year
Player of the Year
The Player of the Year award is given to the conference's best position player. From 1997 to 2000, before the Pitcher of the Year award came into being, both pitcher and position players were eligible for it.
