Episode 77: 2021 Regional Rankings #1 Reaction

The Podcast About Division-III Baseball

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.
