Tomorrow is the day, opening day for college baseball. As many of you know I work for @ETSU_Baseball doing data analytics and have been knee deep in season prep for weeks now as many have. I employ every single baseball fan out there to watch college baseball this season. The amount of passion and love put into this game can not be understated. From the SEC all the way down to the low major and NAIA/JUCO/D2/D3 there is so much good baseball. Tomorrow is the day the journey starts for the D1 level. Let's have a great season and if you need a team to root for, the boys in Johnson City always put on a show

[ETSU Baseball @ETSU_Baseball]

It's finally game week!
