Welcome to Episode 92 of The Podcast About Division III Baseball. This is the first of two New England preview pods -- we begin with Region 1. In order:

GNAC (at 1:55)
- Johnson & Wales won the GNAC last year but were under .500 overall and are losing a good amount to graduation
- Anna Maria seems primed to take a step forward as the clear favorite with multiple All-Region candidates
- St. Joseph's (ME) shouldn't be counted out, especially since they used to run this conference for a long time
NAC (at 11:15)
- Husson is legit
NESCAC (at 15:06)
- Tufts had a bizarre 2021 but are returning a ton and could be one of the more talented teams in the entire region
- Amherst is technically the defending champs and have some key pieces returning
- It's hard to tell who else will be in the mix here considering everyone else played so few games
NEWMAC (at 29:00)
- Wheaton (MA) is a clear top-10 team in the country for us and we're not sure why they didn't get more pre-season poll love
- Babson might be moving on to a new generation of Beavers but they'll definitely still be good
- MIT was pretty awesome the last time they played but that was quite a while ago

We conclude (at 37:54) with our player and pitcher of the year picks, and our teams to beat. Then we say goodbye.
