DII Report: The DII baseball field of 56, projected

Let's pick the 2025 DII baseball bracket before a single pitch is thrown, shall we?

Can you believe that we are here? It is just days before the 2025 DII baseball season, and the road to Cary is set to begin. We have no stats. We have no idea what wins and losses will look like. There hasn’t even been a pitch thrown yet.

Seems like the perfect time to make bracket predictions, right?

Let’s be real. It’s easy to pick Tampa, Central Missouri, and Angelo State as bracket contenders, but there are new teams that pop up every year. I don’t care how much of an expert you think you are, getting half the bracket right before a pitch is thrown is as close to an impossibility as there is.

But that’s why I am going to try.

We do have my preseason conference previews to go off of. While I didn’t get to every conference before the season started (that’s my fault for a three-week holiday sabbatical in December), we do have quite a few conference previews to go off of. Here, see for yourself.

Previous fall reports: SSC | LSC | PSAC | MIAA | Conference Carolinas | GSC | PBC | SAC | GLVC | RMAC | NE10 | PacWest | G-MAC | CCAA | GNAC | GAC | GLIAC | MEC (coming Thursday)

So, what are we looking for?
