The 2022 NCAA Division I Baseball Tournament is the 75th edition of the NCAA Division I Baseball Championship. The 64-team tournament began on Friday, June 3 as part of the 2022 NCAA Division I baseball season and will conclude with the 2022 College World Series in Omaha, Nebraska, which will start on June 17 and end on June 27.[1]
The 64 participating NCAA Division I college baseball teams were selected out of an eligible 300 teams. 31 teams were awarded an automatic bid as champions of their conferences, and 33 teams were selected at-large by the NCAA Division I Baseball Committee. Teams were then divided into sixteen regionals of four teams, each of which conducts a double-elimination tournament. Regional champions then will face each other in Super Regionals, a best-of-three game series, to determine the eight participants in the College World Series.[1]
Coppin State and Hofstra made their tournament debuts, while Air Force received their first bid since 1969. Mississippi State was the first defending champion to miss qualification to the tournament since Coastal Carolina in 2017. NC State joined Mississippi State as a 2021 College World Series participant that was not invited.
Tournament procedure
A total of 64 teams entered the tournament, with 31 of them receiving an automatic bid by either winning their conference's tournament or by finishing in first place in their conference. The remaining 33 bids were at-large, with selections extended by the NCAA Selection Committee. For the first time ever, the Pac-12 Conference had a conference tournament to determine who will get the automatic bid.
National seeds
The sixteen national seeds were announced on the Selection Show on Monday, May 30, 2022 at 12 p.m. EDT on ESPN2.[2] Teams in italics advanced to the Super Regionals. Teams in bold advanced to the 2022 College World Series.
