NCAA DI Baseball Program

Abilene Christian University Baseball - TX

Abilene Christian University baseball competes at the NCAA DI level in United Athletic Conference and is based in Abilene, TX. Campus enrollment is about 3,195 students. The published acceptance rate is 66%. Recent baseball results include 2026: 26-31. Listed coaches include Rick McCarty, Jackson Finney, Matthew Frappier, Casey Popham, Colton Taylor, Nate Causey, and 1 additional coach.

Rick McCarty is entering his ninth season at Abilene Christian, and the program has posted winning records in three of the past four years before a more difficult 2026 campaign finished 26–31 with a UAC Tournament appearance. That recent dip, combined with a roster that currently carries 48 players ahead of 2027, suggests the program has depth to work with as it looks to return to the consistent mid-30-win range it held from 2023 through 2025. The clearest recruiting need is pitching, where up to four openings could emerge if seniors depart, with lighter turnover possible at catcher, infield, and outfield. Families evaluating ACU will find a program with genuine coaching continuity and a recent track record of competitiveness at the DI level in the United Athletic Conference.
