Next up on the ABCA Podcast, we bring you a preview of the NAIA season with two voices deeply connected to the level: Brian Michalak, head coach at St. Francis and NAIA Committee Chair and Taylor Thomas of NAIA Ball. 

In this episode, we recap LSU Shreveport’s historic season from 2025, break down key storylines across NAIA baseball, and discuss what coaches and fans should be watching as the season gets underway. With insight from both the coach and media perspectives, this conversation offers a great snapshot of where NAIA baseball stands heading into the season.
