DII/DIII/NAIA Rankings Update: May 13

Nick Herfordt
The college baseball postseason has arrived for NCAA Division II, Division III, and the NAIA, bringing with it the most intense stretch of the season. Conference tournaments have wrapped up, national brackets are taking shape, and teams across the country are shifting from regular season positioning to survival mode, where one bad inning can abruptly end a year’s worth of work.

The NAIA Opening Round is already underway, and some programs could begin packing for the national finals as early as tomorrow. Across all three divisions, the postseason field is loaded with experienced clubs, dominant pitching staffs, and lineups capable of changing a game with one swing. Now, the focus turns from building résumés to advancing through regional play and chasing national championships.



These antepenultimate rankings provide a final snapshot of where the divisions stand entering the postseason push. Included alongside the rankings are Perfect Game’s selections for top player, pitcher, MVP, and outstanding coach in each division, recognizing the standout performers and programs that shaped the regular season. Several of the honorees have put together remarkable campaigns, whether at the plate, on the mound, or in guiding teams through demanding schedules.

The postseason spotlight, however, always expands beyond the major award winners. Every bracket features additional players who have quietly established themselves among the nation’s best, including power hitters, shutdown relievers, and versatile everyday players capable of taking over a series. As tournament play begins, many of those names are about to receive a much larger audience.

The road to a national title officially begins now. The regular season numbers have been recorded. What happens next will determine who turns a strong spring into a championship run.

NCAA DII Players of the Year

Dagen Brewer, Pittsburg State
The senior leads the nation in slugging percentage while batting .436 with 21 doubles and 24 home runs. He has also drawn 57 walks for a .575 on-base percentage and set a new MIAA record with a 37-game hitting streak, helping the Gorillas earn the program’s first-ever regular season title and their first MIAA Tournament title since 1999.

Charlie Bussey III, Francis Marion
Bussey was named the Conference Carolinas Player of the Year after batting a DII-leading .476 with 19 home runs and 39 stolen bases. He also drew 55 walks and was hit by 13 pitches to amass a .597 on-base percentage.

Also considered: Edward Waters’ Daniel Donaldson-Fountain and North Greenville’s Josh Foulks each had splendid seasons and deserve every accolade coming their way. Biola’s James Whitman was not too shabby either. UC Colorado Springs’ Trevor Dale leads the division in home runs while playing solid defense at shortstop. Colorado Mesa’s Kolby Felix also received a strong look.

DII Most Valuable Player

Zack Stokes, West Florida
Stokes carried a .240 career batting average into his final graduate season before erupting for a monster campaign that helped return the Argos to the postseason. He is batting a conference-leading .435 with 14 home runs, second in the GSC, along with a conference-best 20 doubles. He also tops the GSC charts in on-base percentage at .549 while striking out only 19 times.

Also considered: Kolby Felix propelled Colorado Mesa to greater heights this season, leading CMU in virtually every offensive category while batting .426 with 17 home runs and 26 stolen bases. Tristan Moore has kept Point Loma on the short list of national title favorites, hitting .382 while leading the Sea Lions in doubles, triples, home runs, RBI, runs, and stolen bases. Lee’s Luke Collier paced the Flames with a .411 average, .706 slugging percentage, and .486 on-base percentage to help return the program to the NCAA postseason. Daniel Donaldson-Fountain continued to be a monster talent for Edward Waters.

NCAA DII Pitcher of the Year

Colby Deaver, Emporia State

Despite pitching in a conference that placed five teams in the NCAA postseason, Deaver dominated on the mound. The sophomore finished the season with 102 strikeouts in 96 innings and a 1.50 ERA. He allowed only 67 hits and 12 walks for a 0.82 WHIP while holding opponents to a .191 batting average.

Also considered: Delta State’s Andrian Byrd posted a 1.45 ERA with 105 strikeouts in 93 innings as the Statesmen advanced to the NCAA postseason for the 38th time in school history. Tampa starters Robert Satin and BJ Bailey were both among the nation’s best. Embry-Riddle’s Tristan Harley excelled in a dual role, finishing with a 2.21 ERA and 83 strikeouts in 61 innings while allowing only 44 hits across 20 appearances and five starts. Grand Valley State’s Collin Bradley posted a 1.87 ERA and 0.88 WHIP over 81 2/3 innings for the resurgent Lakers.

NCAA DII Coach of the Year

Mike LaRosa, West Chester

Of the eight regular starters from last season who logged at least 100 at-bats for the Golden Rams, only one played a prominent offensive role this season. Yet with a reworked lineup, eight West Chester players earned All-League honors, headlined by Julian Costa, the PSAC East Pitcher of the Year. WCU went from unranked at the start of the season to firmly entrenched in the top ten, earning the No. 1 seed in the Atlantic Region and finishing one win shy of a new school record for victories.

Also considered: Northwest Missouri State’s Tony Jandron set the school record for wins by a first-year coach last season with 27, then pushed the Bearcats to 36 wins this year, a total not achieved by the program in more than 20 years.

NAIA Player of the Year

Carter Claerhout, Bellevue

Claerhout is in the midst of one of the most dominant seasons in Bellevue’s storied history. After transferring from DII Southern Arkansas, he has already been named Frontier Conference Player of the Year, earned NAIA National Player of the Week honors twice, and captured Frontier Conference Player of the Week honors five times. He leads the NAIA in batting average, hits, home runs, total bases, and slugging percentage while also ranking among the national leaders in on-base percentage, RBI, and runs scored. The slugger additionally earned a Gold Glove for his defense at first base.

Also considered: LSU Shreveport’s Carlos Sanchez is batting .400 with 19 doubles, 13 triples, 12 home runs, and 36 stolen bases. Madonna’s Aamir Mitchell is hitting .405 with 31 stolen bases while adding 17 doubles, 22 home runs, and 43 walks for a .531 on-base percentage. Josh Shelly helped Tennessee Wesleyan win its third consecutive AAC Tournament title after earning AAC Player of the Week honors three times this season. He led the Bulldogs with a .415 average, 20 doubles, three triples, and 12 home runs while adding 11 stolen bases.

NAIA MVP

Aamir Mitchell, Madonna

Mitchell was named the WHAC Player of the Year after leading the Crusaders to 41 wins and the WHAC Tournament Championship. The junior outfielder leads the conference with 22 home runs and 31 stolen bases. His .405 batting average tops the WHAC, while his 72 RBI also lead the conference.

Also considered: Carter Claerhout has been a huge part of Bellevue’s offense, though the Bruins likely still would have won the newly renamed Frontier Conference without him. However, they almost certainly would not be among the nation’s elite or favorites to return to the NAIA World Series. Brendon Vela played a major role in Texas Wesleyan’s offensive success, leading the Rams in batting average, doubles, triples, and home runs while finishing second in stolen bases. No player individually elevated his team more than MidAmerica Nazarene’s Ronnie Rowley, who recorded the highest single-season OPS (1.361), highest OBP (.530), and second-highest slugging percentage (.831) in program history. Concordia’s Bronx Lewis proved so imposing that Doane pitchers intentionally walked him five straight times after he launched his 22nd and 23rd home runs during the GPAC title game.

NAIA Pitcher of the Year

Brock Lewis, LSU Shreveport

The senior hurler currently ranks second nationally with a 1.83 ERA and 111 strikeouts in only 88 1/3 innings. He threw five complete games in 15 starts, walked only 17 batters, and held opponents to a .179 batting average while surrendering just 54 hits in 301 at-bats.

Also considered: Canyon Geren has been a major reason for Milligan’s best season in program history, entering the postseason with a 1.86 ERA and 100 strikeouts in 82 2/3 innings while allowing only 44 hits and 28 walks. Valley City State’s Connor Martin should lead the NAIA with 134 strikeouts, holding opponents to a .208 batting average while posting a 3.68 ERA over 93 1/3 innings. St. Ambrose’s Dominic Guzman finished with a 2.93 ERA and 110 strikeouts in 73 2/3 innings. Had he pitched in more than eight games, Concordia’s Micah Sweeton may have earned the honor after recording a 2.08 ERA with 67 strikeouts in 39 innings, good for 15.4 K/9.

NAIA Coach of the Year

Skyler Barnett, Milligan

The Buffs have become a different team under Barnett. After earning the program’s first NAIA Opening Round appearance in 2024 and nearly advancing again last season, Milligan reached another level this spring by winning the ultra-competitive AAC regular season title and earning another postseason berth. The Buffs scored double-digit runs 20 times, earned five wins over Top 25 RPI teams, and saw ace Canyon Geren named AAC Pitcher of the Year.

Also considered: Bellevue’s Duane Monlux and Texas Wesleyan’s Bobby Garza both have long histories of success at their schools, but this season deserves a spot on the fridge. Bellevue underwent significant turnover from last season, while the Rams had been stuck on 27 wins in each of the past two years. The two programs combined to go 89-15.

NCAA DIII Player of the Year

Trevor Testerman, Greensboro

The junior outfielder from Myrtle Beach led the USA South in batting average, on-base percentage, slugging percentage, RBI, home runs, and stolen bases with 25. His 16 home runs set a new single-season Greensboro program record while helping the Pride secure the USA South Regular Season Championship for the first time in school history.

Also considered: Concordia Chicago senior catcher Brandon Mahler has been one of the top hitters in NCAA DIII and helped return the Cougars to prominence. Denison’s Jack Lutte has been the best player on one of the nation’s best teams, batting .484 with 12 home runs and only 10 strikeouts. Baldwin Wallace’s Dennis Ritlinger-Nirider captured the OAC batting triple crown and conference MVP honors. Messiah senior outfielder Isaiah Parido helped lead the Falcons to the MAC Commonwealth Championship and another opportunity for a deep postseason run.

NCAA DIII MVP

Isaiah Parido, Messiah

Parido has accumulated 50 more total bases than any of his teammates while adding 29 stolen bases. He earned All-MAC Commonwealth First Team honors for the third straight season as the Falcons went 19-2 in conference play.

Also considered: Rowan’s Brayden Davis earned NJAC Player of the Year honors as one of the nation’s premier hitters. UMass Boston’s Elliot Miles enjoyed a tremendous season, though not enough to push his team into the extended postseason. Salve Regina’s Shane Williams hit .380 while leading the team with 14 home runs, ten more than any teammate, and 22 stolen bases. Robert Newland helped Kalamazoo crack the Perfect Game rankings for the first time by batting .391 with eight home runs and 40 stolen bases.

NCAA DIII Pitcher of the Year

Drew Bowles, Transylvania

Bowles earned HCAC Pitcher of the Year honors for the second consecutive season. He currently owns a 2.09 ERA with 106 strikeouts in just 77 1/3 innings while allowing only 55 hits. He also threw three complete games and held opponents to a .188 batting average.

Also considered: Olivet’s Bryan Carney was dominant, finishing with a 1.35 ERA and 122 strikeouts in 73 1/3 innings. Wisconsin-Whitewater’s Gradin Taschner has the Warhawks positioned for back-to-back titles after excelling as both a starter and reliever. Denison freshman Andrew Montero has emerged as a true ace.

NCAA DIII Coach of the Year

Mike Deegan, Denison

The Big Red reached new heights last season, then blew past those marks this spring to finish the regular season as the No. 1 team in NCAA DIII. Denison lost its second game of the season back in February but has since rattled off 39 consecutive victories.

Also considered: Sage earned its first-ever Empire 8 Tournament title under first-year head coach Matt Marsh. Tufts went 16-21 during Bryan Stark’s first season but rebounded to 29-9 after capturing the NESCAC title.

Scott Wins MVP Two Ways

Jim Salisbury
Article Image
PHILADELPHIA – When the folks at Perfect Game reached out to invite him to pitch in the 2026 PG All-Star Game for rising sophomores and juniors, Cullen Scott had one request. “You mind if I get a couple of at-bats, too?” Along with his dad, Scott traveled from the family’s home in Texas to Citizens Bank Park. The trip proved to be a huge success as he starred on the mound and at the plate and was named the game’s Most Valuable Player. Scott, 16, pitched a scoreless first inning and struck out two. In the fourth inning, he belted a grand slam six rows up into the left-field seats to lead the National team’s 6-1 win over the American team. “He showed us why he’s here as a pitcher and a hitter,” said Greg Sabers, PG’s vice president of scouting and showcases. "He’s one of the top pitchers here, but he’s too good a...

Romero Slams His Way to Classic MVP

Jim Salisbury
Article Image
PHILADELPHIA – Sunday’s DICK’s Perfect Game All-American Classic was a pitching-dominated affair until the bottom of the eighth inning when the rain started to fall at Citizens Bank Park and Koa Romero stepped to the plate and did his best impression of Kyle Schwarber. Romero wears No. 12, just like Schwarber. He bats left-handed, just like Schwarber. He’s got big power, just like Schwarber. And at 5-10 and a rock-solid 225 pounds, he’s even built like Schwarber. Needless to say, Schwarber is Romero’s favorite player. So, it was all kind of storybook when Romero belted a grand slam to dead center to cap off the scoring in the West team’s 8-3 win over the East club in the 24th annual Classic. “This is a dream come true,” said Romero, who was named MVP of the game. “It’s amazing to be able to put a ball like that out of a...

A Philly Dream for Steingall

Jim Salisbury
Article Image
PHILADELPHIA – Carson Steingall had been to Citizens Bank Park many times over the years. After all, he hails from Nazareth, Pa., about 90 minutes up the road from the home of the Philadelphia Phillies and he counts himself as a big fan of the team. Zack Wheeler is his favorite. Steingall realized a dream when he pitched from the same mound that Wheeler does in Perfect Game’s fourth annual All-Star Game for rising sophomores and juniors on Friday. The dream got even better when Steingall, a 16-year-old right-hander, was named Most Valuable Pitcher after striking out the side in the third inning of the National team’s 6-1 victory over the American team. “It’s just an honor to be here,” Steingall said after receiving his trophy. “This event is the best of the best. It’s really cool to win something like this.” Steingall, who’ll...

Pokers Rally to Capture 16U BCS Title A hot afternoon at JetBlue Stadium in Fort Myers, Florida ended in a 9-1 victory for the Original Florida Pokers 2028 National, defeating SBA Bolts Florida 2028 National on Monday to capture the 16U BCS National Championship. A pitchers’ duel kept the game scoreless through four innings before the Pokers broke it open with a five-run fifth inning. The title marked the Pokers’ second 16U BCS Championship, adding to the championship they won in 2022. Despite a slow start to the summer, the Pokers found their stride at the right time. “We struggled a lot early in the summer, but the past few tournaments we really started turning it on,” Pokers head coach Will McCrimon said. “I’m just so proud of these kids.” Max Maynes started the game on the mound for the Pokers.

Realistic Expectations of a 1:1 Pick

Tyler Henninger
Article Image
Over the 2026 draft cycle, UCLA shortstop Roch Cholowsky was the projected No. 1 pick throughout the entire cycle. White Sox fans began #RochWatch and were already talking about when he will make it to Chicago. Now that he has been selected, Cholowsky has immediately become a Top-10 prospect in all of baseball. There is no denying the hype, and the pressure, for Chowlosky to get to the big leagues and produce at a high level.  But how realistic is that? Let’s take a look back at past 1:1 selections and see what you can expect from a No. 1 overall selection.  For this exercise, we’ll look at No. 1 overall picks from the bonus pool era, excluding Eli Willits from 2025 since this is his first full year of pro ball. That gives us 13 players selected from 2012 through 2024.  Almost All Become Big Leaguers The first thing that stands out is how successful No. 1 picks...
