The 2016 Horizon League Baseball Tournament will be held from May 25–28. The top six finishers of the league's seven teams will meet in the double-elimination tournament to be held at the home field of the regular season champion. The winner of the tournament will earn the conference's automatic bid to the 2016 NCAA Division I Baseball Tournament.[2][3]

Seeding and format

The league's teams will be seeded one through six based on winning percentage, using conference games only. They will then play a double-elimination tournament. The teams seeded three through six will play play-in games. The winners of those games will join seeds one and two to play a double-elimination tournament. The seventh place team will not qualify for the tournament.
