@NAIABall Such a travesty that these two teams were in the same bracket! With 10 sites, how do two teams from the west end up in the same place? Especially when multiple other sites are similar travel for Hope.🤔

When I said the PNW and CCC were underrated by every metric, this is what I meant. @PEARatings and other predictive sites have had UBC as a top 10 team in the country all year, but RPI and BoChip / the selection committee put them as a 3 seed. The three true West teams in the 46-man field are 5-1, with the only loss being to another West team (LCSC over Hope today). Frustrating stuff.

@JermaineCurtis @Br0Dude We use the Blast which can actually give attack angle feedback while we give an external target at the back of the cage that is 12 degrees.
Also, set the machine at 12-15 degrees. All help towards the goal.

I had a coach once tell me:
“Hit the ball on the ground and run because it takes 2 people to get you out.”
He wasn’t wrong.
But years later, I started noticing the players everybody wanted…
weren’t the ones hitting the most ground balls.
English
@JermaineCurtis @Br0Dude 8 to 20 degrees…although difficult to train launch angle (result). Training attack angle (process) is much easier.
English
@Br0Dude Fair point.
So what launch angle range do you think creates the best hitter overall?

@NAIABall @LCSCBaseball @tamuvjagball @HIUBaseball @KeiserBaseball Surprised they didn’t put UBC in this bracket too. Anything to consolidate the West Coast teams.

FINAL! Simpson stays alive behind a 13-5 victory against Florida National. Red Hawks score 10 runs across the final two innings to pull away in the 3-1 contest.

@NWBBstats Par for the course. Teams from the west are always underrepresented, Midwest teams are always overrepresented.
In the last 30 years, 28 of the national champions are from the West or the South, but 1/2 the ranked teams every year are from Midwest.

Some pretty astounding differences between the NAIA coaches poll and data-based ranking services.
LC State is the #1 team on both Pear and CBR. Coaches ranked them #5.
UBC is the #7 Pear team and #11 CBR team, yet are unranked by coaches.
With only 2 technical West Coast teams ranked (LC and Hope), the spread in data comes from coaches believing NAIA strength comes from the East half of the country, with data saying the West Coast is stronger than anticipated (despite having fewer teams).
With 2 of the last 3 unique champs coming from the West Coast and LC State's historic dominance, the coaches' poll brings forth many questions.
