The 2025 Southeast Conference baseball season has come and gone, which means its time to take a look back at the players that made a lasting impact on their teams through the summer campaign with the 2025 SEC All-Conference baseball lists.
There were plenty of fireworks this season. The SEC title race came down to the final game once again. Fairfield and Burlington were in a tight race for the conference crown for pretty much the whole season.
In fact, the Grayhounds held the lead for the majority of the season, until the final conference slate. Fairfield went on to beat Burlington in its final meeting of the season to take the conference title with a record of 13-2. The Grayhounds finished 12-3.
Fairfield leads the way in the individual honors, with 10 named to the all-conference list. That includes senior Dain Burkhart, who was named this years’ SEC Player of the Year. Joining Burkhart on first team was senior’s Luke Konczal and Cason Miller as well as junior’s Aiden Westercamp and Dayson Workman.
Mt. Pleasant followed close behind with a SEC final of 10-5. The Panthers have six names on the list this go around. Sophomore Grayson Lowery as well as senior’s Payton Walker and J.C. Sitar are the Panther’s first team selections.
Fort Madison ended 7-8, Washington finished 2-13 and Keokuk went 1-14.
Washington has three names on the list this season. The Demons’ Conner Leyden represents on second team.
Each team also has two honorable mention picks as well.
