The 2009 Southeastern Conference Baseball Tournament was held at Regions Park in Hoover, AL from May 20th through May 24th. LSU won the tournament and earned the Southeastern Conference's automatic bid to the 2009 NCAA Division I Baseball Tournament. LSU won the College World Series in Omaha, Nebraska.
The top eight teams (based on conference results) from the conference earned invites to the tournament.
The 2009 tournament will once again feature a "flipped bracket". This means that after two days of play the undefeated team from each bracket will move into the other bracket. This reduces the amount of rematches teams will have to play in order to win the tournament.
