Opening Week is HERE and the College Baseball Show is back to get you fully set for the 2026 season. The crew breaks down the biggest storylines shaping college baseball — from the rise of West Coast baseball and early-season injuries to whether LSU can repeat, Texas A&M can bounce back, Tennessee can thrive without Tony Vitello, and which mid-major could be this year’s Cinderella. We also dive into UCLA’s preseason No. 1 hype and expectations for new head coaches before sitting down with Savannah Bananas star Trystan Levesque for a fun and insightful interview. To close the show, we reveal our Preseason Awards, All-Americans, National Champion picks, and final thoughts heading into Opening Weekend.
