SEC Baseball Tournament: Past Winners, Schedule, Bracket

SEC baseball is the best in the country — and has been for nearly 20 years.

The ultimate proof is in the list of College World Series winners. A different SEC program has won every CWS title since Vanderbilt started the run in 2019. South Carolina is the most recent team to repeat as CWS champion, doing so in 2010 and 2011. Including Texas and Oklahoma, 10 current SEC programs have won a CWS title.

No surprise, then, that the SEC Tournament is the most competitive conference event in the country.
