NCBWA Tony Gwynn Community Service Trophy

The National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association has established a new award honoring student-athletes who are active in service and volunteerism in their communities and will honor nine finalists as part of a Tony Gwynn Community 9 Team in May 2025. A winner selected from the nine finalists will be dubbed the Tony Gwynn Community Service Trophy honoree and announced during the Men’s College World Series in June.

Nominees will be solicited in February through college baseball publicists and the NCBWA membership. Student-athletes who are active in their communities, represent their programs with integrity and excel in on-field roles will be honored among a nine-member finalist group, which will be selected by a committee. The Gwynn Trophy winner will be picked from those finalists in a vote by NCBWA board members, select college baseball coaches and national media members.
