It’s also kind of amazing to me that we have three coaches on that list and don’t have the most/closer to the most titles. LSU just wins more often when they get there than we historically have. USC also fits the narrative, but they do shit anymore.

LSU just wins more often when they get there than we historically have. USC also fits the narrative, but they do shit anymore. Decided to go down a historical rabbit hole Sorting by title percentage, LSU's rate is impressive for a team that's been there 19 times For teams that are still annually relevant, Vanderbilt and Oregon State have very good title rates, but their overall appearances aren't very high At least we're not aggy (see very bottom), or FSU, for that matter. Thank God college baseball is back! Let's go get number 7! Note: not every team with a CWS appearance is listed, but all with a title are. Teams at the very bottom have the most appearances without a title (in descending order) Edited February 14Feb 14 by MuellerHorn

February 19Feb 19 This article provides insight on possible future changes to college baseball including roster limits, NIL, and player compensation. Worth a read especially if you love the game. (excerpts) https://apnews.com/article/college-baseball-aba0008f69f93c8afb1769583f724efb Quote The shortening of the Major League Baseball amateur draft from 40 rounds to 20 beginning in 2021 has kept more players in college longer. The transfer portal has allowed teams to fill immediate needs rather than roll the dice with young players. And teams would get older yet if there’s passage of a proposal now under consideration to extend athlete eligibility from four to five competitive seasons. There also is some question about how junior college years will be counted against NCAA eligibility following the federal court injunction that gave Vanderbilt football player Diego Pavia an extra season after he argued his junior college years limited his ability to capitalize on NIL. Oregon State coach Mitch Canham said all those factors mean promising high school players who don’t project to be an immediate starting position player or key member of the pitching staff will be passed over in coming years. “With a roster of 34, you don’t have room to keep a whole bunch of guys around to develop, which is tough because that’s something we’ve done a lot of,” Canham said. “It’s almost as if, am I going to trust an 18-year-old who has never played Division I baseball to come in and do this? You better make sure. Or are you going to get a 21-year-old (transfer) who has hundreds of at-bats and experience against older competition?”
