The 1905 College Baseball All-Southern Team consists of baseball players selected at their respective positions after the 1905 college baseball season.
Baseball is a bat-and-ball game played between two opposing teams who take turns batting and fielding. The game proceeds when a player on the fielding team, called the pitcher, throws a ball which a player on the batting team tries to hit with a bat. The objectives of the offensive team are to hit the ball into the field of play, and to run the bases—having its runners advance counter-clockwise around four bases to score what are called "runs". The objective of the defensive team is to prevent batters from becoming runners, and to prevent runners' advance around the bases. A run is scored when a runner legally advances around the bases in order and touches home plate. The team that scores the most runs by the end of the game is the winner.
The 1905 college baseball season, play of college baseball in the United States began in the spring of 1905. Play largely consisted of regional matchups, some organized by conferences, and ended in June. No national championship event was held until 1947.
