NORTH ATLANTIC REGION!

Penn State enters  the 2025 season as the back-to-back World Series champion and will look to 3 peat in Alton this May.  Penn State went a perfect 7-0 in the 2024 postseason backed by a phenomenal pitching staff and a wealth of championship experience . Outside of a 2nd round 16-13 thriller against  National Runner up Grand Canyon,  the Lions only allowed 7 runs total in their 6 other postseason games. The defending champs currently sit at 3-0 in the North Atlantic East with St. Joes (6-3)and Temple  (4-2) chasing them. PSU will return 15 from last year’s National Championship squad.

Lot’s of baseball left to be played as UMass (5-1) & Boston College (5-1) currently sit atop the North Atlantic North.  New Hampshire sits at 4-2 just one game back.

MID ATLANTIC REGION!

Virginia Tech looks to re-load with their 16 returners and win the 2025 Mid-Atlantic regional after falling to East Carolina  in the 2024 championship game. Setting the tone for the Hokies will be a crucial conference series versus 2024 regional qualifier James Madison.  JMU made the 2024 regional but came up short after losing their 1st two games. These two look to be the teams to beat in the Mid-Atlantic North.

In the South, the Pirates of East Carolina  will have the targets on their back and rightfully so. ECU has been a blue-blood of the NCBA since 2014 compiling a 121-12 conference record, 8 conference titles, 7 regional titles, a  World Series championship, and three World Series championship game appearances in that span.  However, the Purple and Gold will have their hands full in this loaded conference with Elon and NC State coming for them. Those two had a winner-take-all game 3 of their conference series in 2024 to decide who comes to the regional, where Elon prevailed 8-2. Elon returns 16 from last year’s squad while the Pack return 20 and want revenge.  And what about the new guy? High Point University joins the Mid-Atlantic South after auto-qualifying to come up from Division II. The Panthers were a DII powerhouse where they won 3 straight conference titles with a combined 36-1 record, 3 regional appearances, and 1 World Series appearance. The Panthers return 21 from the 2024 squad and will be no slouch.

Will the Pirates make it back to back regional titles or will someone new prevail in this loaded region?

SOUTH ATLANTIC REGION!  

There has been 1 representative of the South Atlantic Region at the NCBA DI World Series since 2018, and that club is none other than  Florida State.  The Seminoles return 2/3 of their World Series team last year and will look to win the South Atlantic Region for the sixth consecutive season. However, it will not be an easy feat as  Florida Gulf Coast will be looking for revenge from the 2024 regional. FGCU was in the driver’s seat after beating Florida State 6-5 in the 2nd round game of the regional, but the Noles fought back thru the loser’s bracket and double dipped FGCU on Sunday to advance to the World Series. 

Another club who has FSU circled is the Tennessee Volunteers. In a wild back and forth regional tournament affair that saw FSU make multiple comebacks that needed several runs to be scored both times, FSU topped the Volunteers 10-9 to end Tennessee’s season.  The Vol’s return 22 of their own and look to build off last season’s conference title and regional tournament appearance.

All eyes are on Florida State. Who can stop them?
