Episode 24: Mid-Atlantic Regional (York, PA) Preview

Welcome to Episode 24 of The Podcast About Division III Baseball. This is the eighth of our eight postseason regional preview podcasts -- this one focuses on the 8-team Mid-Atlantic Regional which will take place in York, PA. We break down each of the eight teams. In order: #1 Rowan (at 2:43) We know the NJAC teams can pitch, but this one can hit too; this is an elite team that should be taken very seriously #8 Castleton (at 6:23) The Spartans rolled through the NAC again; can Davis Mikell single-handedly take down Rowan? It ain't gonna be easy. #2 Babson (at 8:00) Few teams have been as consistent as the NEWMAC champion Beavers; can their balanced attack find success in the regional? #7 Catholic (at 9:47) Brennan Cotter and Jon Mierzwa are the high-end talent, but this is an all-around team with a real chance to compete #3 Arcadia (at 12:43) The Knights showcased one of the more explosive offenses in all of D-III over the last few weeks; can they score enough to make their shaky pitching irrelevant? #6 Union (at 14:58) The Dutchmen can also score with the best of them; they could be in for a slugfest with the Knights #4 Virginia Wesleyan (at 16:38) One of the most surprising teams of the season, the Marlins look ready to make some noise in the regional. Having one of the best two-way players in the country will certainly help.   #5 Misericordia (at 18:08) The Cougars are back after another MACF title. Can a deep pitching staff fuel a deep regional run? We conclude with our top players and pitchers to watch, and our pick to punch their ticket to Appleton (at 19:35). Then we say goodbye.
