INDIANAPOLIS – Already GLVC Coach of the Year, UIndy Baseball's skipper Al Ready has added onto his legacy, capturing ABCA/ATEC Midwest Region Coach of the Year honors.
 
This is the second year in a row that Ready has captured such this honor, becoming the first baseball coach in UIndy history to have won this award more than once.
 
Ready's squad captured their second-straight Super Regional title this past season, punching their ticket to Cary, N.C. for the World Series for just the fourth time in program history. This came alongside the highest win total in a season for Ready as his Greyhounds went 41-21 on the year, including a staggering 29-7 mark in GLVC play.
 
The ABCA/ATEC Regional Coaches of the Year are selected by members of the ABCA All-America & Coach of the Year Committees in all nine divisions: NCAA Divisions I, II and III, NAIA, NJCAA Divisions I, II and III, Pacific Association Division and high school.
 
The 2024 ABCA/ATEC National Coaches of the Year in all divisions will be announced on Wednesday, June 26.
