Welcome to Episode 77 of The Podcast About Division III Baseball. We have our first regional rankings of the 2021 season and my goodness, this is a gonna be a wacky postseason. We discuss what we learned, what we know, what we're still wondering, and then go region-by-region with our general thoughts on each ranking. Topics include (but are not limited to):

  • Central
    • Webster a bit lower than expected but the resumes explain a lot, nothing too shocking
  • Mid-Atlantic
    • Penn State-Abington is the big surprise but you can see how they ended up there
    • Why there's no Centennial team
    • No 2nd NJAC team is unusual but understandable
  • Mideast
    • No surprises here, some underperforming teams have brought the overall strength of this region down
  • Midwest
    • Whitewater is awesome, shouts out the Pointers for having 2 big leaguers on the Brewers; cool to see a new UMAC team
  • New England
    • This region is almost guaranteed to get one at-large bid, but could they get 2 with the LEC/NEWMAC?
  • New York
    • Oswego State has been excellent and look like the only team in solid at-large position if they don't win the SUNYAC
    • St. John Fisher is great but needs to win the conference
  • South
    • How are we feeling about Berry's chances?
  • West
    • No SCIAC teams at all is no surprise because of their abbreviated schedule, but who else could actually get an at-large here?

Then, we say goodbye.
