DII/DIII/NAIA Rankings Update: April 29

Across all three divisions of college baseball, the teams making the most noise heading into the postseason share a common trait — they score runs, and they score them relentlessly. Along with the updated rankings, this week we take a look at the top run-producing programs in DII, DIII and NAIA baseball, spotlighting a trio of teams from each division whose offenses have separated themselves from the field.

The numbers tell a compelling story. Whether it's the defending NAIA champion LSU Shreveport Pilots reloading with a new roster yet still posting 10+ runs per game, the Pittsburg State Gorillas hanging blowout after blowout on opponents, or the Lynchburg Hornets making a case as the most complete team in Division III baseball, the formula is largely the same — deep lineups, disciplined at-bats, and the ability to keep pressure on a pitching staff from the first pitch to the last out. These are not teams that depend on one or two big boppers to carry the offense. These are teams that beat you everywhere, all game long.



The profiles that follow rank each division's top programs by runs per game and take a closer look at the three schools that have done it best.

If you’re a pitcher hoping for a clean inning, Belmont Abbey isn’t the place to find it. At 36-12, the Crusaders have built an offense that just keeps leaning on you until something gives. They’re slashing .355/.470/.566 as a team, and once traffic starts, it rarely clears.

The middle of the order brings serious force. Joe Whitaker is hitting .422 with 22 home runs and 80 RBI, while Caleb Burr sits at .429 with 18 homers and 67 RBI. That’s enough to anchor any lineup — but Abbey doesn’t stop there.

Matthew Fattore (.373) sets the pace and leads the team with 72 runs scored. Jacob Steinberg reaches base at a .481 clip, constantly setting the table. Jake Bidoglio adds 13 home runs from the heart of the order. Collectively, the Crusaders have drawn more walks (290) than strikeouts (253) to amass a team .470 OB%, forcing pitchers to stay locked in long after they should be out of danger.

They’ve topped ten runs in 27 games and are averaging over 11 per contest. The defining trait here isn’t just power — it’s persistence. Every spot in the lineup extends the problem.

The Francis Marion Patriots have turned lineup depth into a weekly problem few have solved. At 40-10, they’re hitting .362 as a team with a .473 on-base percentage, and the pressure starts immediately.

Charlie Bussey III is putting together a remarkable season, hitting .497 with 18 home runs, 71 RBI, and 101 runs scored. He sets the tone from the first pitch. Behind him, Ethan McAnally (.409, 17 HR, 81 RBI) ensures there’s no letup.

Riley Orr is at .402 with 75 RBI. Will Dorrell hits .384 and keeps innings alive. Daniel Hussey delivers in key spots. Logan Davis, often near the bottom, still hits .308 and has crossed the plate 45 times. There isn’t a reset point in this order — just another hitter ready to keep the inning moving.

With 291 walks and constant activity on the bases, Francis Marion doesn’t rely on one burst — they build pressure pitch by pitch until it turns into runs. They’ve scored nearly 12 per game and reached double digits in more than half their contests. It’s steady, controlled damage from start to finish.

Pittsburg State’s offense is defined by how many different ways it can take over a game. At 38-8 with a +8.78 run differential per game, the Gorillas apply pressure early and rarely ease off.

They’ve collected 99 doubles, 17 triples, and 69 home runs, while also swiping 128 bases in 144 attempts. Power, speed, gap-to-gap contact — it all shows up, often in the same inning.

Dagen Brewer leads the charge, hitting .446 with 21 home runs (twice as many as any teammate) and a Division II–leading 89 RBI. Opponents have walked him 53 times to drive his on base percentage to .583, choosing extreme caution over consequence in big moments.

Behind him, the pace doesn’t slow - it accelerates. Eric Bacon (.404, 19 stolen bases) and Isaac Webb (.380, 29 stolen bases) create constant tension once they reach. A single can turn into scoring position in a hurry, and any lapse in focus gets exposed.

The production has been overwhelming all season, highlighted by decisive wins like 15-3 over Southwest Baptist, 13-3 against Northeastern State, 13-1 over Rogers State, and a recent 18-0 result on the road against Newman. At +395 runs overall, Pittsburg State has separated itself with consistency and constant pressure — an offense that never really lets a game settle.

There is no gentle way to frame what the University of the Cumberlands lost after the 2025 season. Charlie Muniz, the 2025 NAIA Player of the Year, graduated having rewritten the record books in ways that may never be matched — 115 career home runs to break both the NAIA and all-collegiate baseball record previously held by former major leaguer Pete Incaviglia, along with NAIA career records for hits and RBIs. When a player like that walks out the door, most programs spend the next year just trying to find their footing.

The Patriots didn't blink. At 41-7 and leading all NAIA programs in runs per game at +8.40, Cumberlands has simply reloaded and kept right on scoring. The team is hitting .356 with a .466 on-base percentage and has slugged 106 home runs — as a team — in 48 games. That is not a misprint.

What makes this offense work without its all-time record breaker is that the production is genuinely shared across the lineup. Ronald Almanzar has stepped into the middle of the order and delivered, hitting .396 with 22 home runs and 67 RBI. Derick Andiarena adds .413 with 16 home runs and 75 RBI. Caden Petrey hits .358 with 17 home runs and 63 RBI. Johnboy Rittenhouse is at .417. Pedro Vasquez chips in 13 home runs from the lower part of the order. The Patriots have drawn 252 walks and absorbed 92 hit batsmen — opponents simply cannot find a way around this lineup, so they inevitably end up pitching to it.

The hole Muniz left was enormous. What Cumberlands has done to fill it may be the most impressive offensive story in NAIA baseball this season. 

The Taylor Trojans have spent the bulk of the 2026 season ranked No. 2 in the Perfect Game national poll, and at 45-4 with a recent 20-game win streak, they have done nothing but validate that standing. Second among all NAIA programs in run production at +8.08 per game, this squad has been a menace from the opening weekend and shows no signs of letting up.

What makes the Trojans so dangerous is the sheer width of their offense. There is no single player to game-plan around — there are seven. Brayden Manning hits .417 with 10 home runs and 62 RBI. Fletcher Roemmich is at .381 with 10 home runs, 53 RBI, and 74 runs scored. Jordan Malott leads the team with 72 RBI while hitting .381 and anchoring first base with steady presence. Brennan Frickel adds .425 with 18 doubles and 54 runs scored. Luke Sutter hits .353 and has crossed the plate 69 times. Ben Kennedy chips in .356 with another eight home runs. Sam Gladd adds seven more from the heart of the order. The team as a whole is hitting .354 with a .478 on-base percentage and has drawn 301 walks against just 301 strikeouts — a dead-even ratio that speaks to an offense built on patience and professional at-bats rather than free-swinging aggression.

A 38-12 record might not look like what you'd expect from the defending NAIA national champions fresh off the most remarkable season in the history of college baseball — a perfect 59-0 campaign, the first undefeated season ever recorded at any level of college baseball. But don't mistake a few more losses on the ledger for a program in decline. The LSU Shreveport Pilots are still one of the most dangerous offensive teams in the NAIA, and the runs are still coming in bunches.

The context matters here. LSUS welcomed 30 newcomers this season after losing key contributors from that historic squad, and they have done it playing one of the most demanding schedules in the country. Yet the offense has not skipped a beat. The Pilots are hitting .348 as a team with a .470 on-base percentage and have scored 507 runs in 50 games — just over 10 per contest. They have drawn 328 walks this season while posting 198 stolen bases, the kind of pressure-from-all-angles approach that keeps opposing defenses permanently on edge.

The engine driving the offense is Carlos Sanchez, who leads the NAIA in RBIs and hits while slashing .388 with 17 triples, 11 home runs, 75 RBI, and 35 stolen bases — a complete player in every sense. Makana Olaso adds .384 with 15 home runs and 58 RBI. Quaterrion Walton hits .372 with 35 stolen bases and 56 runs scored. Spencer Sullivan contributes .340 with a .507 on-base percentage and 21 stolen bases. Dorien Jackson adds .342 with 7 home runs and 32 walks. This is not a team coasting on reputation — it is a team with real teeth, still very much capable of making a deep postseason run.

The banner from 2025 is hanging. The Pilots intend to hang another one.

The University of Lynchburg baseball team has spent the 2026 season making opposing pitchers miserable — and the rest of Division III baseball has taken notice. The Hornets sit at 31-4-1, have been in the top spot of the Perfect Game rankings all season, and lead all DIII programs in runs per game at +8.83. This is a recent national champion scoring like they intend to finish on top once again.

The offensive numbers start with a team batting average of .345 and a .484 on-base percentage — nearly half the lineup reaches base every time through. But what makes Lynchburg genuinely difficult to game-plan against is that the damage comes from everywhere. The Hornets have scored 407 runs in 36 games while striking out just 179 times all season. They have hung 18, 19, 21, and even 29 runs on opponents in single games this year. That is not a fluke — it is the product of a lineup that puts the ball in play, forces defenders to make decisions, and simply refuses to give innings away.

The middle of the order is anchored by the identical twin Pokorak brothers, one of the more unusual offensive weapons in college baseball. Jack Pokorak hits .388 with 13 home runs and 69 RBI, while Sean Pokorak is at .434 with a .569 on-base percentage. Behind them, Quinn Madden (.367, 9 HR, 45 runs scored), Benton Jones (.356, 12 doubles, 6 triples, 52 runs scored), and Brandon Garcia (.346, 55 walks, 18 stolen bases) each contribute in different ways. Garcia in particular is a catalyst at the top of the order who reaches base at a .569 clip and consistently turns singles into trouble for opposing defenses.

The Hornets have also been nearly untouchable at home, going 20-0 at Fox Field. With the postseason approaching, Lynchburg looks every bit like a team built to make another deep run.

The Denison Big Red are sitting at 35-1 and ranked second in the Perfect Game rankings, the pitching staff — with a remarkable 2.32 team ERA — deserves plenty of credit.Yet make no mistake about what is driving this machine. The Big D in Denison stands for offense, and this lineup has been the engine behind one of the most dominant seasons in D-III baseball.

The Big Red are hitting .365 as a team with a .465 on-base percentage and have scored 405 runs in 36 games. They have done so coming off their first-ever DIII World Series appearance a year ago, and have spent the bulk of the 2026 season entrenched second  in the Perfect Game rankings — a spot they have held with authority.

The offensive depth at Denison is genuinely startling. Jack Lutte leads the way at .491 with nine home runs and 48 RBI. Erik Sundgren hits .396 with 26 stolen bases and a .525 on-base percentage. Eron Vega is at .407, Kelly Crittenberger at .388, and Bobby Haarde at .384. There is no soft landing spot in this lineup — seven regulars are hitting better than .335, and the team has drawn 177 walks in 36 games. 

What makes this offense special beyond the individual numbers is the patience and discipline that runs through the entire order. Denison does not beat itself. It simply applies pressure inning after inning until the other team cracks — and at 35-1, they crack almost every time.

The Johns Hopkins Blue Jays came into 2026 facing legitimate questions. They had a new head coach in Nate Mulberg, taking over a program that had lost significant contributors from a year ago. The early skeptics didn't last long. At 30-9 and ranked among the top programs in DIII, the Blue Jays have answered every question by simply going out and scoring runs — a lot of them.

What makes Hopkins' offensive production particularly impressive is the context around it. This is a team that replaced key pieces from last year's roster and installed a first-year head coach, yet the results have barely skipped a beat. The Blue Jays are hitting .331 as a team with a .460 on-base percentage and have scored 469 runs in 39 games — nearly 12 per contest. At some point that stops being a coincidence and starts being a culture.

The lineup is anchored by a group of players who simply hit. William Jaun leads the way at .397 with 10 home runs and 60 RBI. Lukas Geer is at .359 with 11 home runs and 56 runs scored. Jacob Harris hits .351 with 12 home runs and has driven in 45 runs while also stealing 13 bases. Alex Shane adds .366 with 52 runs scored and a .481 on-base percentage. Clay Hartje contributes .317 with 7 home runs and 43 runs scored from behind the plate. There is no weak link in this order — the Blue Jays have drawn 266 walks and hit 83 home runs as a team, a combination that keeps innings alive and turns singles into big innings in a hurry. Earlier this season Hopkins erupted for a program-record 34 runs on 23 hits in a single game against ranked Gettysburg — a statement performance from a team that had plenty to prove.

For a roster still finding its footing under new leadership, the Blue Jays have been anything but timid at the plate.

April 28th Perfect Game/Player of the Week:  Jarren Advincula, IF, Georgia Tech  It is well documented how good the Georgia Tech offense was in 2025, so when the Yellow Jackets added Jarren Advincula from the transfer portal in the off-season, the expectations went through the roof for ’26.  Somehow, the team and Advincula have not only met but exceeded those expectations in virtually every way.  Advincula, the 6-2/195 infielder from Santa Clara, CA, has been a fixture in the middle infield and is an elite defender with the leather.  He shows natural instincts for the game and as the season has progressed, he has found himself inserted into the 3-hole in their powerful lineup.  Hitting from the left-side of the plate, Advincula put together an impressive week as Tech took down Georgia in the mid-week and swept Wake Forest on the weekend.  He was...

PG Draft: Top-100 Reports (April Update) 1. Roch Cholowsky, SS, UCLA R-R, 6-2/202, Chandler, AZ Previously Drafted: Never Drafted Roch Cholowsky has consistently ranked at the top of the class throughout the cycle due to the safety and upside of the profile. Defensively, he is a plus defender at shortstop with soft hands, consistent actions, and quality range. Not only should he stick at the position long term, he should excel there at the next level. Offensively, there is a strong mix of hit and power potential from the right side of the plate. The swing is a bit unorthodox with a shorter finish, but Cholowsky consistently finds the barrel and drives the ball with authority to all fields. He has strong bat to ball skills with impact. He has walked more than stuck out during his collegiate career, giving him a high on-base ability. The run tool is the only tool that doesn’t jump...
