The 2012 Great West Conference baseball tournament took place from May 22 through 26. All eight of the league's teams met in the double-elimination tournament to be held at Utah Valley University's Brent Brown Ballpark in Orem, Utah. Utah Valley won their third championship by a score of 10-6, having advanced undefeated in conference regular season and tournament play. As the Great West is a new conference, the league does not have an automatic bid to the 2012 NCAA Division I baseball tournament.[1] [2] Utah Valley has won all three Great West Conference baseball tournaments.[3]
All eight teams will be seeded based on conference winning percentage only.
