The college baseball coaching carousel has continued to turn all offseason long.
While four of New England’s Division 1 programs have turned over coaches since the conclusion of last spring, the Division 3 ranks will have even more newness in the 2025-26 academic year.
Among the changes around the region, three D3 schools went to the highest level to fill their openings. Included are Wesleyan of the NESCAC and a Wheaton program which had one of the winningest active coaches in the region in Eric Podbelski depart for a D1 assistant coaching role.
Below is a look at newcomers in New England’s Division 3 dugouts for the upcoming season. This post will be updated.
