Beyond The Diamond is back!
After some busy (and quite successful) homestands for Fairfield and UConn Colby and Hunter get back at it to give you the latest college baseball news
We break down the latest D1Baseball Top 25 rankings
Highlighted by Arkansas' return to #1
Vanderbilt dropping to #2 after a tough weekend against Georgia
And the conferences to watch out for in the second half of the college season
Colby gives us a recap of how Fairfield, the #2 team in the country in RPI, has gotten it done in their undefeated start to the year
Including why friend of the show Justin Guerrera is a dark-horse Golden Spikes candidate
Hunter discusses how the Huskies have dominated in their new home Elliot Ballpark (winning 10 of 11 on the homestand)
Especially in a huge win against Boston College that was capped off with a two home run game from team captain Chris Winkel
We then turn to MLB, which has lived up to the billing (and more) thus far this season
After a division-by-division analysis, we talk about the hype provided by Ronald Acuna
Why Shohei Ohtani might be the best athlete we've ever seen
And, of course, the issues with replay and other rule changes
