New Format

The ACC introduced a new format for this year’s championship, shifting to a single-elimination style tournament across six days from May 20 to the 25 at Durham Bulls Athletic Park in Durham, North Carolina.

Under the new single-elimination format, the top four seeds receive a double-bye to the quarterfinals on Thursday and Friday. Seeds 5–8 get a bye to Wednesday’s second round, while seeds 9–16 open in Tuesday’s first round. The tournament runs with four games Tuesday and Wednesday, two quarter finals each on Thursday and Friday, semifinals Saturday and the title game Sunday.

The new format reflects the strength of ACC Baseball, which sent eight teams to the NCAA Tournament in 2024 and tied an NCAA record with four College World Series participants. It also aims to create a better postseason experience, with support from coaches and players.

Team Rosters

Top Prospects

Alex Lodise – Florida State

Lodise has been a force at the plate all season, leading the ACC with a scorching .427 batting average and an eye-popping 1.293 OPS. The junior infielder has racked up 82 hits, 17 home runs and 62 RBI in 47 games while slugging at an 80 percent clip. He’s been the offensive engine for the Seminoles and a nightmare for opposing pitchers.

Kade Lewis – Wake Forest

Lewis has built off a stellar freshman campaign—where he was named Big East Freshman of the Year and earned Second Team All-Big East honors—by becoming a cornerstone of the Demon Deacons lineup. The sophomore is hitting .395 with an OPS of 1.138, tallying 79 hits, 11 home runs and 57 RBI as he continues to rise as one of the most consistent bats in the conference.

Daniel Cuvet – Miami

Cuvet is driving in runs at an unmatched pace, leading the ACC with 72 RBI—10 more than any other player. The sophomore slugger holds a .376 average and a 1.149 OPS with 73 hits and 15 home runs. After a breakout freshman season where he led the Hurricanes with 75 RBI and a .351 average, Cuvet hasn’t slowed down, powering the Hurricanes' offense once again in 2025.

The 2025 ACC Baseball Championship will kick off on Tuesday at 9 a.m. ET.
