DII/DIII/NAIA Rankings Update: April 22

The final weeks of the college baseball regular season have a way of separating programs that are genuinely postseason-ready from those that have simply been good enough for long enough. Conference tournaments loom, selection committees are paying close attention, and every game on the schedule carries weight that it simply didn't in February. This week's action, combined with the latest Perfect Game Top 25, paints a picture of a college baseball landscape where the top is clearly defined — and where the middle is a genuine battle.

What follows is a cross-level look at teams across the NAIA, NCAA Division II, and NCAA Division III ranks who find themselves in that uncomfortable space: not safely in, not clearly out, but firmly on the bubble. Some have built compelling résumés that should hold up under scrutiny. Others have excellent records against soft competition and are now hoping the committee doesn't look too closely at who they actually beat. A few are riding momentum into the final stretch that makes them dangerous regardless of what came before. All of them share one common truth — they cannot afford to give the committee a reason to leave them out.



The teams profiled here were identified using a combination of RPI, strength of schedule, opponent quality tier performance, run differential, venue splits, and recent form — the same factors that selection committees weigh when determining at-large bids and seeding. A strong RPI alone is not enough. A gaudy record against weak competition raises flags. Close-loss patterns matter. Road performance matters. And perhaps most importantly, what you do between now and the end of the regular season matters more than almost anything else on your résumé.

Across all three levels, the message is consistent: finish. A team that goes 3-1 in a meaningless final weekend can fall behind a team that goes 4-0 against similar competition. A single midweek loss to an unranked opponent at this stage of the season can linger in a committee's memory. These teams have done enough to be in the conversation — now they have to be good enough to stay in it.

Molloy (29-7, RPI #30) is the most compelling story on this list. The Lions have ripped off a 20-game winning streak — the longest active streak of any team in this group — and have done it without a blowout loss all season (zero losses by 10+). Their road record is immaculate at 12-0. The concern is obvious to any selection committee: 26 of their wins have come against teams ranked outside the top 100, and they have no games played against the top 25. They are essentially an unblemished record built against soft opposition. The final weeks of the season are critical — but they are all a lock for the postseason if not the Top 25.

Missouri S&T (25-12, RPI #14) sits in an unusual position: their RPI is legitimately strong at #14, but their record is the weakest of any team in this bubble group. The Miners have been here before — they built a 19-game win streak mid-season that announced them as a legitimate contender — but a rough stretch before that included 12 losses in 14 games, and their 0-5 mark against Top-25 RPI opponents is a glaring hole in their profile. What saves them is that they have played everybody. Their schedule strength is real, and a committee will respect that. They went 2-2 last week with a respectable loss to Pittsburg State, but dropped a lopsided game to Lewis, a team ranked outside the top 190, is not what you want to see at this stage. They need to lock in immediately and bring it home.

Rollins (27-12, RPI #16) had been one of the more impressive teams on this list. They could have really announced themselves last week but were swept at home by Tampa in a combined score of 3-18 across three games. To their credit, the Tars own a 14-game win streak earlier in the season and have gone 5-3 against Top-25 RPI opponents, which is a real credential. Their run differential per game (+4.23) is the lowest in this group, meaning they win, but they rarely dominate. Rollins can still make this work, but they cannot afford another winless weekend, especially with the Sunshine State not having a postseason tournament.

Millersville (26-13, RPI #25) has played some of the toughest competition in this group — 5-6 against the Top 25 is a legitimate résumé item — but their road record (4-9) is a problem that will be difficult to explain away. They are a team that wins at home (19-3) and struggles away, which is exactly the wrong profile heading into a postseason environment where you rarely get to play in your own backyard. Went 3-1 this past week with quality wins over Central Mo., which helps.

Ill. Springfield
(29-13, RPI #34) is on the right side of the bubble but just barely, and the wrong direction at the moment — they closed the week with a loss to Maryville (MO), a team ranked outside the top 100. Their 0-4 mark against Top-25 RPI opponents is the number that will generate the most skepticism, though they have gone 12-4 against the good, but not great, 51-100 teams, which shows they know how to beat mid-level competition. The Prairie Stars have been a close-game team all year, going 15-1-4 in one-to-four-run decisions, which cuts both ways — they compete every night but don't put teams away.

Worth keeping an eye on: Lee (31-14, RPI #36) has been battle-tested with a 4-1 record against the Top 25, including a midweek win over Young Harris this week. St. Mary's (TX) (34-11, RPI #39) has quietly built one of the better records in the group and a strong road mark at 18-5, though their 0-4 showing against 26-50 teams and zero Top-25 games could raise eyebrows. Emporia St. (30-13, RPI #40) leads this entire bubble group in run differential per game at +7.07 and has gone 5-7 against Top-25 competition — the most games played against elite opponents of anyone below #30 in the group. Southern New Hampshire (30-9, RPI #53) has one of the better records here and a +6.85 run differential per game, but their schedule — no games against the top 50 — makes them a very tough sell for inclusion in the national Top 25. They've beaten nearly everyone they've played, but that field hasn't been tested at the top end. Flagler (30-14, RPI #45) rolled Claflin last weekend, but those aren’t wins to display on the refrigerator - the Panthers are 3-30 on the season.

Indiana Southeast (32-13, RPI #12) is the most intriguing case in this group. The Grenadiers sit inside the top 15 in RPI and have been one of the more battle-tested teams in the bubble conversation, going 4-1 against the Top 25 and 7-8 against teams ranked 26-50 — a schedule that has cost them some losses but also built credibility. Their 12-game win streak earlier in the season showed they can run the table when everything clicks, and they enter this final stretch on a five-game winning streak. What will define their bid is whether they can keep closing out close games — 11 of their 13 losses have come by margins of four runs or fewer, a pattern that suggests they're competitive nearly every night but need to find a way to seal more of those moments. 

Huntington (34-9, RPI #13), meanwhile, may be the hottest team in the bubble group right now, riding an 11-game win streak into the season's final weeks. The Foresters have quietly put together one of the cleaner profiles in the field: an outstanding 22-3 road record, losses that have all come by single digits, and a pitching staff anchored by the kind of depth that matters in late-season pressure situations. Outfielder and designated hitter Keifer Wilson, who helped Oakland City to newfound success last season, has been a key catalyst all season. Huntington's postseason history is thin, but this group looks capable of changing that.

British Columbia (33-12-1, RPI #16) brings something none of the other bubble teams can claim: the distinction of being the only Canadian university competing in NAIA baseball. The Thunderbirds reached the NAIA World Series last season, their first appearance since 2006. This year's squad has won eight straight entering the final stretch as they swept Oregon Tech last weekend. They need a strong conference finish to make their case undeniable. 

Marian (32-11, RPI #19) deserves a closer look.. The Knights lead this entire bubble group in run differential per game at +7.91, meaning they don't just win — they win convincingly. Their 13 blowout wins (10+ run margin) are the most among this group, and their 20-7 road record is genuinely impressive. The 3-7 mark against Top-25 RPI opponents don’t blow anyone’s pants off, but it’s still nice to note they have wins over Southeastern, Huntington and Indiana Tech. Their overall offensive firepower will be tested this weekend as they host Taylor and their 24 game win streak.

Indiana Tech (31-13, RPI #27) are riding a nine-game winning streak and have scored 10 or more runs in 20 games this season, and their +6.68 run differential per game ranks among the best on the bubble. The challenge for Indiana Tech is that their losses have been more varied — they've been shut out and they've been blown out — so the committee will want to see sustained consistency over these final weeks to justify an at-large bid if they don’t secure an automatic pass..

Beyond those five, a handful of others deserve a mention. Oakland City (35-11, RPI #24) owns the longest win streak in the bubble group earlier in the year at 18 games and has quietly put together one of the better records in this field. Freed-Hardeman (31-13, RPI #25) has proven they can compete with the best, going to Cumberlands — one of the nation's elite programs — and splitting a three-game series. Mid-America Christian (33-11, RPI #26) has the second-fewest games allowing 10+ runs of any team in the bubble group, which speaks to a pitching staff that doesn't give games away.

Mount Union (26-6, RPI #23) is clean, consistent, and hard to argue against — zero blowout losses, 12-2 in neutral site games (the most neutral-site games in the group), and a 4-3 record against 26-50 teams. They haven't played much at the very top (1-2 vs Top 25) but the overall profile is tidy. 

Maryville (TN) (23-14, RPI #11) is the most puzzling team on this bubble. The résumé is legitimately impressive — 7-8 against the Top 25 is the most games against elite competition of anyone in this group, and a +6.05 run differential shows they can score. They were on the cusp of the Top 25, but have struggled as of late, going 2-4 over their last six games that included a 14 run loss to Rhodes and a loss to Covenant (RPI #213).  Maryville's 11-game win streak earlier in the year showed what they're capable of, and their Top-25 competition record gives them credibility no one else here can match, but they need to close the season strong — another sloppy week could cost them dearly.

Trinity (CT) (21-7, RPI #17) is one of the cleaner profiles on this bubble. The Bantams went 4-0 this week, including taking three from a decent Colby team (#56) on the road. Their only concern is a relatively thin schedule at the top: just one game against the Top 25 (a loss) and none against the 26-50 tier. What works in their favor is they've been nearly perfect on weekends (16-3) and haven't been blown out all year, with only one loss by 10+. If they keep winning, it becomes very hard to leave them out. 

Transylvania (20-9, RPI #19) has one of the more interesting profiles here — a 5-3 mark against the Top 25 that is the best among all the bubble teams in this report. Their run differential of +6.38 per game is strong, and their road record (9-3) is excellent. They didn’t have a strong start to the season, but have been improving their quality-win résumé and outscored Franklin 11-1 and 21-11 last weekend.

Wittenberg (24-6, RPI #20) brings the best record of any team in this bubble at 24-6, with an elite run differential of +8.70 per game — best in the group by a significant margin. The Tigers have dominated opponents when they play, going 18-0 against teams ranked outside the top 100, but their 3-4 mark against Top-25 opponents and no games against the 51-100 tier creates some strength of schedule questions. They've won 11 straight at their peak and had some lopsided wins against a good John Carroll club on the road last weekend.. 

Montclair St. (27-7, RPI #21) has the most wins in the group and leads everyone in blowout victories with 14 games won by 10+, paired with a +7.76 run differential. They went 4-0 this week, though against opposition ranked #295 and #174 (New Jersey City and Rutgers-Camden) — the schedule is soft, but they have had wins over Rowan and Kean to gain some needed credibility.

Worth keeping an eye on: DeSales (24-11, RPI #25) has the highest run differential per game among teams outside the top 20 at +7.06, and 11 blowout wins show real offensive pop, but are 0-6 against teams in the top 50 of RPI. They need their final weeks to include some meaningful wins. Southern Maine (21-6, RPI #29), a one-time DIII powerhouse, is the hottest team on this bubble right now — 4-1 this week and carrying a +9.07 run differential per game that leads the entire group. They don’t have any wins against the Top 25 which hurts, but 11 blowout wins in 27 games suggests a team that simply overwhelms opponents when they're on. Bethel (MN) (22-6, RPI #31) needs some signature wins. Their conference limits their ability to earn quality wins as recent victories against Carleton and Northwestern-St. Paul aren’t much to write home about. Hobart (24-9, RPI #33) had been coming on strong, but closed last week dropping two games to RIT (#43). They are 0-6 against teams in the 1-50 tier. They beat the teams they're supposed to beat but haven't proven they can compete with the best.

Road to the 2026 17U BCS Title

Emily Hicks

This weekend, 11 teams will take the field for the 2026 17U BCS Challenge, a three-day event that brings together programs from across the country for a full slate of pool play and bracket action. With games beginning Friday and a champion crowned Sunday, the format leaves little room for slow starts, making every inning important from the opening pitch. The field features a mix of established programs and rising teams. With so many evenly matched rosters, there’s not much separation heading into the weekend, which puts importance on pitching depth, defensive consistency, and timely hitting. Pool play will quickly determine seeding, and even one loss can shift a team’s path heading into bracket play. One of the teams expected to be in the mix is Hawaii Elite 2G 17U National, a group that is 6-3 overall and ranked as “Honorable Mention” on the Perfect Games...
