Episode 92: 2022 New England (Region 1) Preview

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.  Follow us on Twitter @d3baseballpod (DMs are open if you want to reach us there) and @CespedesBBQ.  Send us your best D-III stories or any other comments or questions to [email protected] Subscribe + rate/review on iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-podcast-about-division-iii-baseball/id1342691759
