The 2026 SEC baseball awards were revealed on Monday afternoon, including Player of the Year, Pitcher of the Year, Coach of the Year and All-SEC teams, among other awards.
To nobody’s surprise, Georgia star Daniel Jackson was named the SEC Player of the Year, with his head coach Wes Johnson named SEC Coach of the Year. The Bulldogs locked up the SEC regular season title a few weeks ago and enter the SEC Tournament as a top 5 team in the nation thanks in part to Johnson and Jackson’s efforts.
Elsewhere, Florida’s Aidan King was named the SEC Pitcher of the Year, taking an 8-2 W-L record into the postseason with a 2.50 ERA. King also owns the SEC’s top WHIP at 0.93.
A few Texas players also earned SEC awards, namely Anthony Pack (SEC Freshman of the Year) and Aiden Robbins (SEC Newcomer of the Year). Finally, Texas A&M’s Gavin Grahovac was tabbed the SEC Scholar Athlete of the Year.
