## Resource

In this episode, we break down our annual Division I college baseball season preview with Jonathan Grosse, getting you ready for the 2026 college baseball season. We dive into the biggest storylines entering opening weekend, including major coaching changes across the SEC and ACC, where several programs will feature new—and first-time—head coaches. We also take a close look at mid-major college baseball programs that could break out this season and make a postseason run, before sharing our preseason College World Series picks, including who we think will reach Omaha and compete for the national championship in June. To wrap things up, we highlight must-watch games from Opening Weekend as the Division I college baseball season begins Friday, February 13.
