BOCA RATON, Fla. – The American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA) inducted Florida Atlantic Head Coach John McCormack as part of its 2026 Hall of Fame class in a ceremony last Friday night.
I accept this award for all the players and coaches whom I have worked with during the last 35 years at Florida Atlantic, said McCormack. Without their collective efforts, none of this is possible. I am the beneficiary of some fantastic people. Thank you to Florida Atlantic for giving me the platform to coach, leading to this prestigious honor, which I am so grateful for.
McCormack will soon begin his 18th year as head coach and his 36th season with the program. Under his leadership, Florida Atlantic baseball has qualified for NCAA Regionals six times, captured four regular season conference championships, and one conference tournament championship. Since McCormack took the reins in 2009, the Owls have a record of 577-372-2. Since joining FAU, 105 players have extended their baseball careers into the professional ranks, including three who are currently on a major league roster.
McCormack also served on the USA Baseball coaching staff in the summer of 2024 and traveled to Ireland in the fall as an ambassador to the sport.
Induction to the ABCA Hall of Fame is the highest honor bestowed by the American Baseball Coaches Association. For consideration, a coach must have served as a head baseball coach and been an ABCA member for a minimum of 15 years, made professional and personal contributions to the ABCA, have significantly contributed to the advancement of baseball at the local, national or international level, and should be representative of high moral character and ethical standards, excellence, and leadership.
The inaugural Hall of Fame class was inducted in 1966, with more than 350 individuals being honored since.
