So, if I'm reading this all correct, the gap between D3 and D1 is something like Double A and the Majors?

Only in the respect that *many* D3 players wish they were playing D1 baseball and *all* AA players hope to get to MLB. Some players go directly from AA to MLB, or with only a short stint in AAA ball.

So no, I think the gap is wider between D3(low) and D1(CWS winners). Personally, watched my son at his first spring training hit a triple off a MLB pitcher in a game. The funnel gets very narrow at the top, or the higher you go.

BOF mentioned Christopher Newport University in Virginia. It is a D3 state school with state tuition, with very good baseball and facilities. (Mary Washington is another in Virginia that is D3 and a state university, but the baseball is not at good as CNU at this juncture. Mary Washington IS a very good school, however, and use to be part of the University of Virginia back in the day.)
