Big 12 Conference baseball awards

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]
