Welcome to Episode 87 of The Podcast About Division III Baseball. It's time to talk about the Mid-Atlantic -- well, half of what we've been used to being the Mid-Atlantic. We discuss (at 1:17) the changes to the region from last season before previewing all the favorites by conference. In order:

  • AEC (at 3:57)
    • Marymount won the first ever AEC title and look primed to defend their title
  • Centennial (at 11:05)
    • Johns Hopkins is loaded again but will be tested even more with a full schedule and traditionally ridiculous SOS 
    • Swarthmore is back and we're excited to see if they can challenge Hopkins immediately after a full year off
    • F&M, Haverford, and Washington College can all be expected to be in the mix
  • CSAC (at 32:17)
    • Keystone runs this conference and probably always will...
    • ...but could Wilson actually make a run at the Giants? We'd love to see it!
    • Huge shoutout to Alexia Jorge at St. Elizabeth
    • Shoutout to brand new program Rosemont
  • Landmark (at 40:30)
    • Scranton won it all last year and has some exciting young talent returning
    • Catholic seems primed to take a huge step forward with some bona fide All-Region talent
  • MACC (at 47:30)
    • York (PA) is gonna be FASCINATING with two All-American sluggers that might combine for 40 HR but a TON else to replace
    • Lebanon Valley could definitely challenge the Spartans, though

We conclude (at 56:48) with our player and pitcher of the year picks, and our teams to beat. Then we say goodbye.
