College Baseball Top 25 Rankings

This week’s map is a proportional symbol map displaying current NCAA Div. I Collegiate Baseball Rankings.  Tennessee, Kentucky, Clemson, Texas A&M, and Arkansas lead the way.  Eighteen of the twenty-five teams are located in the South.  Southeastern dominance along with PAC-12 teams correlate with traditional baseball hotbeds.  This pattern is very similar to the baseball player origins map.  Leaving little doubt, as to the role climate plays in college baseball success.
