Episode 89: 2022 Mid-Atlantic (Region 4) Preview

The Podcast About Division-III Baseball

Welcome to Episode 89 of The Podcast About Division III Baseball. It's our second Mid-Atlantic pod, as we dig into the teams in Region 4. In order:

• CUNYAC (at 1:45)
  • We really aren't sure what to make of this conference at this point but it seems like they will still be playing baseball in 2022, so that's good
• MACF (at 5:30)
  • Misericordia will look to continue their epic streak atop this conference with their super clean style of baseball and HBP superpower
  • DeSales and Stevens will look to finally dethrone the Cougars
• NJAC (at 16:35)
  • Rowan is losing a good amount of offense from last year's World Series team but might have the best pitching staff in the region
  • William Paterson really jumped up into the upper echelon of this conference and are in good shape to stay there
  • Kean was definitely disappointing in 2021 but have been too good recently to stay down for long
  • Montclair State is a 3x national champion but hasn't been this good in a while
  • TCNJ and Ramapo should all be much better than last year
• UEC (at 35:10)
  • Penn State-Harrisburg lost an absolute legend in Bret Williams but still is loaded and ready to defend their conference title
  • Ryan McCarty is chasing some D-III records for Penn State-Abington
• UAA (at 46:14)
  • NYU...has nothing on their website so we don't know much other than they will be playing baseball and are in the UAA which means we will be paying close attention to them

We conclude (at 49:05) with our player and pitcher of the year picks, and our teams to beat. Then we say goodbye.
