The NCAA Division III baseball committee has announced the 48 teams that will compete in the 2021 NCAA Division III Baseball Championship.
Six teams will compete in double-elimination play at 8 regional sites.
Winners of the eight regional tournaments will qualify for the 2021 D-III World Series. The Division III World Series will be held in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, for the second time.
Our predicted field included North Central (Ill.) but the committee did not agree, selecting N.C. Wesleyan instead. You can see how each team won their conference and all things playoff at the D3baseball.com 2021 Playoff Central
