HELENA, Mont. – The 2025-26 Academic All-District® Baseball teams, selected by College Sports Communicators, recognize the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performances on the field and in the classroom. 

The CSC Academic All-America® program separately recognizes baseball honorees in four divisions – NCAA Division I, NCAA Division II, NCAA Division III, and NAIA.

The criteria to the CSC Academic honor would need to have a minimum 3.50 cumulative grade point average (GPA), be at least a sophomore academically, and be a significant contributor (starter/important reserve) in their sport, with specific participation minimums like 90 percent of the contests.

These criteria recognize student-athletes excelling in both academics and athletes, with nominations submitted by institutional members of CSC.  The recipients with the asterisk (*) advanced to the national ballot to be voted on by CSC members.  First-, second-, and third-team Academic All-America® will be announced on June 23.

A total of seven (7) from the Frontier Conference baseball members are listed.  Bismarck State (N.D.), Dakota State (S.D.), and Dickinson State (N.D.) each recorded at least a recipient on the list.
