NAIA Baseball Program
Cumberland University Baseball - TN
Cumberland University baseball competes at the NAIA level in Mid-South Conference and is based in Lebanon, TN. Campus enrollment is about 2,104 students. The published acceptance rate is 67%. Recent baseball results include 2026: 26-27. Listed coaches include Allen Balmer, Anthony Balderas, Zach Lee, and Sam Olsson.
Allen Balmer’s first season as head coach produced a 26–27 overall mark and a 10–8 Mid-South finish that earned Cumberland the No. 3 MSC Tournament seed. The Phoenix reached the conference championship round before falling short, a clear step down from the 47-win springs of 2024–25. Lebanon, Tennessee, remains an NAIA program with a high recent ceiling. Recruiting into 2027 is about restocking pitching after heavy eligibility loss while protecting that tournament floor.
