The 2025 Division I NCAA baseball champion remains uncertain as none of the eight qualifying teams returned from last year, marking a first since the tournament expanded in 1999. Each team, including Arizona, Arkansas, Coastal Carolina, Louisville, and LSU, presents unique strengths: Arizona boasts a flawless late-game record, Arkansas seeks a long-awaited title under veteran coach Dave Van Horn, Coastal Carolina excels in pitching with a 23-game win streak, Louisville leads in stolen bases, and LSU brings championship experience from 2023. All teams have proven capable of claiming the title in the double-elimination format of the College World Series.
