Rankings from D1Baseball

The 2025 Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference baseball tournament was held from May 20 through 24 at Clover Stadium in Pomona, New York. Due to the conference's adding of Merrimack and Sacred Heart, the tournament expanded to eight teams from the six-team field featured in the previous 10 tournaments. Fairfield won the tournament and received the conference's automatic bid to the 2025 NCAA Division I baseball tournament.[2]

Seeding and format

The top eight finishers of the league's thirteen teams qualify for the conference tournament. Teams are seeded based on conference winning percentage, with the first tiebreaker being head-to-head record.

Play begins with the lowest four seeds of the tournament playing in a single-elimination round; all subsequent rounds are double-elimination. The winners of the first round advance to play the next two lowest seeds in the second round, with the top two teams receiving a further bye to the third round.
