Jason Jackson Named 2023 ABCA/Marines National Assistant Coach of the Year

Jackson led the Tide to a 13-6 record and an NCAA Regional championship as interim head coach last season

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – Alabama associate head coach Jason Jackson was named the 2023 ABCA/Marines National Assistant Coach of the Year, the American Baseball Coaches Association announced on Wednesday morning. Jackson is the Division I representative on the ABCA's list and is the first Crimson Tide assistant to earn the honor in program history.

The ABCA began honoring a National Assistant Coach of the Year annually in 1999. The Assistant Coach of the Year has since expanded and now recognizes outstanding assistant coaches from eight divisions of college baseball and three divisions of high school baseball. Coaching expertise, recruiting, loyalty to the program and respect for the players and the game are some of the many criteria examined when reviewing the candidates for the award. Assistant Coach of the Year honorees are voted on and selected by the ABCA All-America and Coach of the Year committees, in conjunction with the ABCA national office.
