A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Great podcast with good variety of ideas, insights on the game, with some humor thrown in.

WindyTalker · Apr 2024

Mike, Kendall and Aaron do a great job breaking down games and discussing weekend matchups. Steve and the other guys are funny and bring a little humor to the game for those who want that

Mattyhos2333 · Feb 2023

Been enjoying this podcast for the past 5 years! College baseball is such an awesome sport, and I look forward to these weekly podcasts in order to stay informed (and listen to the banter). Great @D1Baseball content!

DL Noble · Apr 2021

These guys are the best source of everything college baseball. For a sport that doesn’t get enough national attention, D1 Baseball fills the gap for someone who loves college baseball!

Brendan M Bell · Mar 2021

Fitts, Kendall, and Rooney have a wealth of knowledge (the other team sharing this feed is v bad) but their preview episodes and recaps are filled with info that I can get from looking at the team stats page and box scores. Less focus on individual games/series and more of the trends and developments that happen over the course of the season would make each episode more must-listen and make me want to catch up on ones that I’ve missed. Anyone interested enough to follow a college baseball podcast probably isn’t a casual fan and would be better served by getting more into the weeds.

I was very excited when D1baseball.com came about many years ago. As a life long NCAA baseball fan, it was awesome to have an outlet to get information. However, I have a very hard time with the pass and even defense they give the ACC for their horrendous tournament format. A format so awesome that exactly 0 other conferences have adopted it. Conference championships are the ceiling for most programs and to have a tournament format where a lower seeds has to rely on results of other games to make a run is unacceptable. I hoped as this platform grew they would push for these for these type of changes.
