2019 ushered in a new era for the CCL as a “northern” division was created and titled the Affiliate Division. That leaves the league with six core teams in Southern and Central California while the Affiliate Division is made up of four teams. The CCL champion comes from the six anchor teams in the south but the winners of the two divisions came together for the first annual California State Championship series.

The Santa Barbara Foresters won the trifecta of trophies in the CCL as they swept the regular season and the CCL playoffs and then won the aforementioned state title. The Healdsburg Prune Packers have become the dominant program in the North and they extended Santa Barbara to a third game in that state title series.

The CCL remains a haven for up-and-coming players from marquee leagues and programs. Among this year’s Top 20 prospects, there are 11 players combined from the SEC and Big 12 and this includes Omaha-caliber programs like Vanderbilt, Arkansas and Texas Tech.

DII/DIII/NAIA Rankings Update: April 24
It’s far better to be on a hot streak at the end of the season rather than the beginning of the year. As a result the three teams spotlighted with the latest rankings are in a perfect position for a deep postseason run.

College Player, Pitcher of the Week
Ryan Gallagher of UC Santa Barbara threw a complete game shutout and leads the Gauchos staff into the Top-25 while Tennessee's Christian Moore went 9-for-15 with 4 home runs and 9 RBI.

College Top 25: April 22
Well, here we go folks, we have one month left in the regular season and things continue to get more unpredictable on the national landscape. We are seeing some new clubs making statements out west and non-Power 5s on the east coast continuing to jockey for post-season host consideration.

Week 10 Preview Pick 'Em
Things are close as we head into week 10 and with all but one series having a different prediction, this week could really open things up between Cozy and Vin.
