My apologies for not sharing this general info (not just about baseball) sooner than one day before the 15th. Here's a link to an item we recently posted to our website and sent to our newsletter subscribers. Reminders about a June 15th deadline for some college athletes, and the recruiting opportunities that open up for many high school athletes who just completed their sophomore year.

What if the student athlete is still playing? Do they have to wait until season is over and apply for waiver?

The athlete doesn't "have to" wait until the season is over to enter the Transfer Portal, but if their team is in the CWS, it's obvious that they would prefer to do so.
The athlete will need a waiver if they want to be eligible next year at a D2 program. One of the conditions to be eligible at a D2 using the "One-Time Transfer Exception" is that the athlete must notify their current university by June 15 that they want their name entered into the Transfer Portal.
