The 2016 Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference Baseball Tournament will begin on May 13 and end on May 16, 2015 at Arthur W. Perdue Stadium, in Salisbury, MD. It is an eight-team double elimination tournament. The winner will claim the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference's automatic bid to the 2016 NCAA Division I Baseball Tournament. Bethune-Cookman has claimed fourteen of the seventeen tournament championships, with Florida A&M winning in 2015, Savannah State in 2013 and North Carolina A&T earning the 2005 title.[2][3]

Format and seeding

The four teams in the North Division and top four finishers from the South Division will be seeded one through four based on regular season records, with first round matchups of the top seed from the North and the fourth seed from the South, the second seed from the North against the third seed from the South, and so on. The winners advance in the winners' bracket, while first round losers play elimination games. The format means that one team from the South will be left out of the field.
