CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – The American Baseball Coaches Association announced its 10-member Hall of Fame Class on Wednesday (July 5) and it included Virginia head coach Brian O’Connor. He will be inducted at the 2024 ABCA Hall of Fame Banquet held on Friday, January 5, 2024 at the Gaylord Texan Resort & Convention Center as part of the 2024 ABCA Convention.

Induction to the ABCA Hall of Fame is the highest honor bestowed by the organization. The ABCA was founded in 1945 and the Hall of Fame began in 1966, with more than 350 inductees.

O’Connor completed his 20th year as the head coach at Virginia that culminated with the program’s sixth College World Series appearance, all of which have come since 2009. The Cavaliers were one of five teams to win 50 games in 2023, the fifth 50-win season by Virginia in the last 14 years. As a team, UVA co-led the country in batting average (.332) and boasted a 3.81 ERA, the fourth lowest in the nation.

“I’m incredibly humbled by such a prestigious honor,” said O’Connor. “To enjoy the sustained success that we have had at the University of Virginia, it starts with great players. I’ve been fortunate enough to have not only great players, but tremendously loyal and dedicated assistant coaches. I can’t thank our former players, our past and present coaches enough. They all have been so integral in the success of this baseball program and I share this honor with every one of them.”

It was a milestone year for O’Connor, who won his 800th career game with a 12-6 win over Rhode Island on March 4 becoming the eighth coach in ACC history to reach the 800-win mark. In 20 seasons he’s accumulated a record of 839-353-2 with a winning percentage of .704, the highest of any active D-I college baseball coach.
