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 conducted a double-elimination tournament. Regional champions then faced 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 failed to qualify.

Tournament procedure

edit

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

edit

The sixteen national seeds were announced on the Selection Show on Monday, May 30 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.
