  • Must Listen for College Baseball Fans

    This podcast is ESSENTIAL for anyone remotely interested in college baseball. The group of personalities is dynamic and they are fantastic at growing the game. They took me from a single team fan to someone who watches a mid major matchup in the midweek to stay in the know. D1 Daily pods get me through the days with little baseball to watch.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

2026 MLB Draft Preview with David Seifert
Q: What makes Flora and Bremner different as pitching prospects, and how do you compare them?
Seifert explains both are athletic, high-velocity arms with repeatable delivery, but Flora has more weapons and a slightly different breaking ball, while Bremner showed a late surge in development and has a strong but slightly different repertoire.
2026 MLB Draft Preview with David Seifert
Q: Seif, how do you feel about the draft starting on Saturday?
Seif expresses passion for the draft, noting its significance for 2027 and beyond, while acknowledging the fluid, evolving nature of signability and top prospects.
Auburn's Butch Thompson, D1Baseball's Joe Healy [Sidearm Delivery]
Q: What led to Auburn's move to strengthen the pitching staff and how has that changed their weekends?
The shift to move Andres Alvarez into the rotation and place Jackson Sanders in a bullpen role created a reliable bullpen hammer and allowed Sanders to close games and provide length, which has produced better wins and more stability on weekends.
Cal Baptist's Gary Adcock, D1Baseball's Eric Sorenson (Sidearm Delivery)
Q: What has been the biggest challenge of making the transition from NAIA to Division I?
The biggest challenge is navigating the four-year postseason ineligibility during the transition, while still recruiting and developing players who can contribute immediately. It's about projecting future potential, building depth, and keeping players motivated and engaged even when they can't compete for NCAA tournaments yet.
Nebraska's Will Bolt, D1Baseball's Patrick Ebert [Sidearm Delivery]
Q: How does the lineup construction balance one-through-nine consistency with leveraging the best hitters early in the order?
They prioritize putting their best on-base guys at the top while maintaining a relentless one-through-nine approach to wear down pitchers and pressure defenses with pressure bunts and aggressive baserunning.
