The College Baseball Foundation announced the 12 new members of the College Baseball Hall of Fame. Highlighting the 2023 class are six players, two of which had successful MLB careers and whose successes were shaped at the college level, while the class also includes four coaches and two former umpires with storied histories in the game.

Kevin Brooks, who has led the Angelo State baseball program since its inaugural year in 2005, was named the 2023 Skip Bertman Coach of the Year by the College Baseball Foundation.

For the first time in the College Baseball Foundation’s history, its annual recognition of college baseball’s top athletes -- the Night of Champions -- will be held in Overland Park, Kansas on Feb. 15, 2024. The evening will feature the induction of the 2023 College Baseball Hall of Fame class, which will be announced in early December.

Mike Gustafson, President and CEO of the College Baseball Hall of Fame, will step down from a role he has held for almost 15 years. In 2004, Gustafson and a group of original founders created the College Baseball Foundation to help preserve and recognize the history of college baseball.
