DIVISION I TEAM PREVIEWS  |  DAY 1 OF 8

SOUTHERN PACIFIC REGION

UC Santa Barbara went on a magical run the final month of the 2025 season. After finishing 2nd in their conference & needing the At Large bid to squeak into the Regional Playoff, they made the most of their opportunity. The Gaucho’s held off Grand Canyon in the Regional Championship & punched their ticket to their 1st World Series since 2011. Their season came to an end in the semi’s after an impressive 3-2 week down in Alton.

Does UCSB have another run in them?

Be sure to check all the Southern Pacific Team Previews to see how everyone’s looking heading into the Spring 2026 season!

We’ll be releasing 1 Region a day through next Wednesday, as the 2026 Rawlings Division I Preseason Rankings drop Thursday the 22nd!
