The Pac-12 finally joined most of the rest of college baseball last spring when it held a postseason conference tournament for the first time. And one tourney was enough to see changes were needed.
The 2023 tourney, on tap for May 23-27 in Scottsdale, will feature a new format as well as one more participant than the 2022 version.
Nine of the 11 baseball-playing schools will be at Scottsdale Stadium, and instead of a double-elimination bracket the tourney will begin with pool play. Each pool will have three teams, and the three winners will advance (along with one second-place team) to a four-team single-elimination championship round.
