CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Elevating its program record for the third consecutive season, the Virginia Tech baseball team celebrated 17 student-athlete selections to the 2025 All-ACC Academic Team, as announced by the conference on Thursday.
Virginia Tech’s 17 placements this season furthered the trend of high academic and athletic achievement set by head coach John Szefc, who has witnessed the program’s record for honorees grow during recent years from 15 in 2023 and 16 in 2024. Against the ACC, the Hokies’ 17 mentions in 2025 ranked in a tie for the fourth most leaguewide, trailing Louisville (22), Georgia Tech (18) and Stanford (18) while matching Duke (17) and Pitt (17).
