Their first round matchup with UW LA should be an exciting one.

Batting in front of Drew Butler, the duo makes it rough on opposing pitchers. Wolf was the West Region's Player of the Year, and when you look at his numbers, it was a no-brainer. Outfield - Senior Jeremy Wolf, Trinity (Tx) Triano needs just seven RBI to set the Keystone single-season mark. 386 and leading the team with 12 home runs, 64 RBI and 21 doubles. He also had a big season in the heart of their lineup, batting. The Purchase transfer spent his first year in Keystone as both their CSAC Tournament and New England Regional MVP.

Third Baseman - Freshman Cal Aldridge, Wisconsin-WhitewaterĪldridge had a monster debut season and capped it off with MVP honors in the Regionals this past weekend for the No. Keep an eye on Trinity’s Connor Moore and his 30 stolen bases setting up their sluggers Butler and Wolf in the heart of the order as well. Roman could be the spark from the three-hole that makes the Cardinals go. 360 and tied for the team lead in runs scored with 48.

Welcome the Cardinals to the field as they are appearing in their first DIII Baseball Championship. The All-South Region second baseman went 4-for-11 with four RBI in Emory’s sweep through the Regionals and will need to play big if they expect to go far this weekend. But they need to score runs, and their cleanup hitter Eisner will be the catalyst. 6-ranked Emory is going to return to the finals as they did in 2014, they are going to do it behind their pitching staff. 464 (which is actually second on this offensive juggernaut) with a team best 11 home runs and 79 RBI. Front and center in their explosive attack is All-Midwest Region first baseman Justin Anderson. No team has scored more runs in the nation or hit for a better average than No. He earned both All-Region and All-Tournament honors.įirst Base - Senior Justin Anderson, UW-LA 3-ranked Trinity and their second ranked run scoring team. 360 with seven home runs, 46 RBI and 41 runs scored for No. Here are a few names to keep an eye on as the DIII Baseball Championship get started.Ĭatcher - Senior Drew Butler, Trinity (Tx)īutler is one of the finest hitting catchers in the land. Sometimes that player is lesser known and provides a spark off the bench, but other times the best of the best find an extra gear this time of year, and excel on the biggest stage. This weekend, however, rankings don’t matter.Ī national championship is often earned by the heroic play of a standout players.
