The Wayne State University baseball team had 20 student-athletes recognized for their academic achievements during the 2024-25 season. These athletes were awarded Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) All-Academic accolades, with 16 being named to the All-Academic Excellence Team. This marks a new record for the team, surpassing the previous high of 15 set in the 2020-21 season.

Those recognized on the All-Academic Team with GPAs ranging from 3.0 to 3.49 included Drew Hill, Gavin Nash, Logan Van Sicklen, and Zach Warner.
