The 1946 NCAA baseball season, play of college baseball in the United States organized by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) began in the spring of 1946. Play largely consisted of regional matchups, some organized by conferences, and ended in June. No national championship event was held until 1947.
The American Baseball Coaches Association, then known as the American Association of Collegiate Baseball Coaches, was founded in 1945 to promote amateur baseball. One stated objective was the establishment of a College World Series. After the 1946 season, a collegiate all-star game was held by the ABCA at Fenway Park. The Eastern All-Stars, coached by Jack Barry of Holy Cross defeated the Midwest All-Stars under the leadership of Ray Fisher from Michigan.[1][2]
