Realignment

• Coastal Carolina left the Big South Conference for the Sun Belt Conference. The move officially took effect hours after Coastal won the College World Series. In doing so, the Sun Belt Conference split into East and West divisions for this season.
• North Dakota, a member of the Western Athletic Conference in baseball (as well as swimming and diving for both sexes), dropped baseball.

The 2017 season was also the last for one school's baseball program, and the last for two other programs in their then-current conferences. In addition, the last remaining Division I independent left for its full-time home of Division II.

• Buffalo dropped baseball at the end of the season.[1]
• NYIT, which had been left independent after the 2013 collapse of the Great West Conference, dropped its baseball program to Division II, joining the school's full-time home of the East Coast Conference.[2]
• Valparaiso left its home of the previous 10 seasons, the Horizon League, for the Missouri Valley Conference (MVC).[3]
• Wichita State left the MVC, its conference home since 1945, to become a full but non-football member of the American Athletic Conference.[4]

Conference winners and tournaments

Of the 31 Division I athletic conferences that sponsor baseball, 29 end their regular seasons with a single-elimination tournament or a double-elimination tournament. The teams in each conference that win their regular season title are given the number one seed in each tournament. Two conferences, the Big West and Pac-12, do not hold a conference tournament. The winners of these tournaments, plus the Big West and Pac-12 regular-season champions, receive automatic invitations to the 2017 NCAA Division I Baseball Tournament.
