The National Alliance of College Summer Baseball (NACSB) is proud to announce this year’s winners of the National Most Valuable Program Award. The award is intended to recognize college and university coaches each year that have had the greatest impact on advancing the goals and objectives of the NACSB. This year, the NACSB is proud to recognize three programs which excelled in achieving those objectives. These programs are:
University of Maryland, led by Head Coach John Szefc
*24 Players, 4 All-Stars, and 7 Champions among 4 different Leagues*
Kennesaw State, led by Head Coach Mike Sansing

University of Georgia, led by Head Coach Scott Stricklin
*15 Players, 4 All Stars, 7 Champions, and 1 MVP among 5 different leagues*
In 2013, more than 800 programs (3500+ players) were considered for the award. To be considered, at least one student athlete from the coach’s college must have signed a Letter of Commitment to an NACSB league and participated in the league during the 2013 season. Points are awarded to the school based on players’ participation as well as performance throughout the summer season. Maryland, Kennesaw State, and Georgia produced many gifted student-athletes which helps earn each of these schools and their coaches the 2013 award.
