NORTH ATLANTIC REGION!
Penn State entered the 2023 Regular Season with heavy expectations after falling in the World Series semi-finals the year prior. With 2 Winner Series Championships already on their resume (’13 & ’18), the Nittany Lions looked to join Colorado State as the only other program to win 3+ Titles. A 13-2 Regular Season record earned them the #1 seed at the Regional. 3 consecutive dominant wins pushed Penn State back to the World Series as the #2 seed. After losing to Defending Champion Florida State in the semi’s, they battled back to defeat the Noles in the elimination game to secure a spot in the Championship. Penn State went on to defeat UW Whitewater by a score of 6-3 to capture their 3rd overall Title.
Penn State is looking to become the first program since Colorado State (2008 – 2010) to successfully defend their Title. Can they do it?
Lot’s of baseball left to be played as Delaware (6-0) & Temple (7-0) currently sit atop the East Conference. UMass, Northeastern & Boston College all enter the Spring with just 1 loss out in North Conference. Binghamton & Pittsburgh are neck & neck with Penn State in the West Conference, as all 3 clubs went undefeated in the Fall.

GREAT LAKES REGION!
From 3-16 in 2022 to World Series Runner Up in 2023, not sure we’ll ever see a one year transformation like we did with the Univ. of Wisconsin Whitewater. After securing their 1st ever Conference Title, the Warhawks headed to Fort Wayne, IN as the #3 seed for the Regional Tournament. UWW went 3-0 on the weekend, allowing just 4 total runs to secure their 1st ever World Series berth. Entering as the bottom seed, the Cinderella story continued as they took out #1 seed Utah State, Defending Champ Florida State & former Champion Virginia Tech to reach the Title game. While UWW ultimately fell to Penn State, their 2023 season was one for the memory books.
Heading into 2024 the Great Lakes Region took on some exciting realignment. Newcomers Ohio State, Miami (OH), Dayton, Ohio & Cincinnati are looking to shake things up! Don’t forget about Michigan, Illinois State, Notre Dame & Wisconsin – all four perennial Playoff teams looking to rebound in 2024.

GULF COAST REGION!
Louisiana State Univ. has quickly become a powerhouse down in the Gulf Coast Region. Over the past two years they have a combined 24-3 conference record, earning them two straight Conference Titles. The Tigers have also won two straight Regional Tournaments resulting in back to back World Series appearances. In a Region that’s incredibly deep, LSU will surely have their hands full again in 2024. Fresh off their 2nd place finish at the Regional last year, Alabama brings back 22 players this Spring. The Mustangs of Southern Methodist look to build off their 3rd place Regional finish as well. How about Texas A&M? 13 Conference Titles. 8 Regional Tournament Appearances. 2002 World Series Champ. Don’t ever count out the Aggies.
Can LSU reach their 3rd straight World Series? Who will stop them?

SOUTHERN PACIFIC REGION!
Cal Poly has been on quite the run the last 2 years! In 2022 the Mustangs ran through their conference & Regional Tournament ultimately falling to Florida State in the Championship Final. This past year they defended their conference & Regional crowns but unfortunately went 1-2 at the World Series to secure a top 6 finish for the 2nd year in a row. UC Davis returns 18 guys this year after entering last years Regional with a 16-1 record prior to falling to Cal Poly in the Final. Grand Canyon, who had back to back Top 4 finishes at the World Series in 2018 & 2019, will also be looking to reach the Postseason for the 6th straight year.
