The 2014 NCAA Division I baseball season, play of college baseball in the United States organized by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) at the Division I level, began on February 14, 2014. The season progressed through the regular season, many conference tournaments and championship series, and concluded with the 2014 NCAA Division I Baseball Tournament and 2014 College World Series. The College World Series, consisting of the eight remaining teams in the NCAA Tournament and held annually in Omaha, Nebraska at TD Ameritrade Park Omaha, ended on June 25, 2014 with the final game of the best-of-three championship series between Vanderbilt and Virginia, won by Vanderbilt.

Realignment[]

There were many significant conference changes that took effect prior to the season.

  • The legal successor, composed of Cincinnati, Connecticut, Louisville, Rutgers, and South Florida, along with Conference USA departures Houston, Memphis, Temple, and UCF, formed the American.
  • Georgetown, Seton Hall, St. John's, and Villanova joined with Butler and Xavier from the Atlantic 10 and Creighton of the MVC to reform the Big East.
  • The Great West Conference ceased operations after all but two baseball members secured a place in other conferences. Full member NJIT and baseball affiliate NYIT became Division I Independents.
  • George Mason moved from the CAA to the Atlantic 10.
  • College of Charleston moved from the Southern Conference to the CAA.
  • Conference USA replaced its departing members with Florida Atlantic, FIU, Middle Tennessee, and North Texas of the Sun Belt, Louisiana Tech and UTSA of the WAC, Old Dominion from the CAA and Charlotte from the Atlantic 10.
  • Oakland moved from The Summit League to the Horizon League.
  • The MAAC added Quinnipiac and Monmouth, both formerly of the NEC.
  • San Jose State moved from the WAC to the Mountain West.
  • Dallas Baptist shifted its baseball-only membership in the WAC to the MVC.
  • New Orleans joined the Southland after previously playing as an Independent. Houston Baptist departed the Great West to join the Southland.
  • The Sun Belt added former WAC members Texas State and Texas–Arlington, plus Georgia State from the CAA.
  • Former Great West full members Utah Valley, Chicago State, Texas–Pan American, as well as associate members North Dakota and Northern Colorado, joined the WAC.
  • Pacific rejoined the West Coast Conference, a league in which it was a charter member. The Tigers departed the Big West Conference, now a nine-team league.

This was also the final season for several teams in their then-current leagues:

  • Maryland would leave the ACC for the Big Ten.
  • Louisville and Rutgers would spend only the 2014 season in The American; they respectively left for the ACC and Big Ten.
  • A third team from The American, Temple, announced that it would drop the sport after the season.
  • East Carolina and Tulane would leave C-USA for The American.
  • Western Kentucky would leave the Sun Belt for C-USA
  • Appalachian State, Davidson, Georgia Southern, and Elon would all leave the Southern Conference (SoCon). Appalachian State and Georgia Southern joined the Sun Belt, Davidson the Atlantic 10, and Elon the CAA.
  • East Tennessee State and Mercer would leave the Atlantic Sun for the SoCon. ETSU returned to the SoCon after a nine-year absence.
  • VMI would leave the Big South and return to the SoCon after an 11-year absence.
  • Oral Roberts would return to The Summit League after two seasons in the Southland.

Reclassifications from Division II[]

  • UMass Lowell joined the America East.
  • Abilene Christian and Incarnate Word joined the Southland.
  • Grand Canyon joined the WAC.

Eligibility investigations[]

The Philadelphia Phillies selected college juniors Ben Wetzler of Oregon State University in the fifth round and of the University of Washington in the sixth round of the 2013 Major League Baseball Draft. Both entered into negotiations with the Phillies with the help of a financial adviser, which is against National Collegiate Athletic Association rules, but is "something that reportedly happens all the time". Both also chose to return to college for their senior year. The Phillies reported Wetzler and Monda to the NCAA, which cleared Monda and suspended Wetzler for the first 11 games, which is 20%, of the college season.[1][2]
