Question: Is the Baseball experience any good? Where does NESCAC rank in the D3 world for Baseball? Does the level play mirror the Baseball fields at these schools (underwhelming)?
IMO, NESCAC baseball is pretty typical of all D3 baseball. The conference is middle-of-the-pack compared to other conferences. Like many D3 conferences, there's a wide range of competitiveness from the top teams to the bottom teams. I'm guessing that most of the kids playing NESCAC baseball would tell you it's a great experience. But really, there are probably just a handful of high academic D3s who are consistently at the upper echelon of D3 baseball (Trinity TX, Emory, Hopkins, Wheaton...)
