Baseball landed at #12 in the latest NPI rankings...
But what is the NPI?
The NPI is a system that houses Division III's statistical data and objectively applies the selection criteria to the data based on the sport committee's established weighted criteria. NPI is a combination of the following: winning percentage, strength of schedule, home-away multiplier, quality win bonus, and overtime results (when relevant)
In other words, the NPI is the tool that the NCAA uses to determine postseason selections and tournament seeding across team sports, including baseball, softball, men's and women's basketball, men's and women's soccer, football, and volleyball.
This model was implemented in 2024 to provide a more objective selection criterion. Last season, the Scots were selected to the NCAA Tournament as an at-large selection (non-automatic qualifying) based on their NPI ranking.
Stay tuned here for updates along the way to see where the Scots rank as the season progresses!
