The Podcast About Division III Baseball


Mar 3, 2020

Welcome to Episode 64 of The Podcast About Division III Baseball. This is our first podcast of the regular season and features mostly discussion of the latest Top 25 poll, plus a couple other individual shout outs. 

  • Top 25 chat (at 3:25), including but not limited to:
    • Quick hits on all 25 teams (sorry for no timestamps -- we go in order from 1-25) in the latest poll 
    • Whoa, Jake's WashU Bears are no. 1, that's cool!
    • How to judge teams against each other when some teams have played 10+ games (SCIAC teams) and some have played zero (Southern Maine)
    • The super hot fire Babson/Trinity (Texas) series
    • Slow start for some Mideast powerhouse teams
    • The teams outside the Top 25 that we like the most (at 32:50) AKA show Concordia (Texas) some respect SHEESH (plus some NWC chat)
  • A discussion (at 39:45) of how 2020 Golden Spikes Award watch list finalist Luke Summers (RHP, Fontbonne) could win the Golden Spikes Award over all the obvious D-I contenders. What does he need to do? How many perfect games does he need to throw? Does he need to go viral? Does it even matter how many games Fontbonne wins? What other D-III players could win the Golden Spikes in this absurd scenario?
